Nordic allies evaluate Russian strategy as Ukraine expands deep strikes

Northern European security analysts are assessing Russia's strategic limitations as Ukrainian forces expand long-range strikes against key military infrastructure, including strategic bomber airbases. These deep attacks continue to erode Moscow's combat effectiveness and strain its war economy. Simultaneously, Kremlin officials have intensified verbal attacks on Norway, labeling military exercises and vessel seizures as "statsterrorisme." Security agencies in Denmark and Germany have also reported detecting Russian sabotage operations targeting logistics centers and defense manufacturers. While intelligence officials warn that Moscow retains sufficient resources to prolong the conflict, experts stress that European allies must maintain a cool-headed approach when evaluating Russia's true risk tolerance and narrowing room for broader victory.
