Sandvik told the Telegraph, “Russia is building up on the Kola peninsula … where one of the largest arsenals of nuclear warheads in the world is located.
Norway’s Defence Minister then warned Putin’s weapons are pointing to target not only Norway but also the UK, Canada and the US.
Sandvik said, “We are the eyes and ears of Nato in this area, and we see that they’re testing new weapons, for example hypersonic missiles, and they are testing nuclear-driven torpedoes and nuclear warheads.
He added, added, “Even though Putin is losing heavily in Ukraine he has lost one million soldiers the Northern Fleet is intact. And they are developing it.”
Putin is wanting to have control over the Bear Gap which separated Norway’s mainland from the Svalbard, Moscow is also wanting to have dominance on the GIUK Gap to blockade NATO to gain access.
Sandvik said, “Putin needs to establish what is called the Bastion defence. He needs to control the Bear Gap to make sure that he can use his submarines and the Northern Fleet. And he wants to deny [Nato] allies access to the GIUK Gap.”
He added, “Putin is not interested in peace…Putin’s plan is not a stable peace with Ukraine. If he can, he will come back.”
