This is a major, yet forgotten region of WWII between the Soviet Union and Germany.
[Regnum] Norway intends to strengthen its military presence in the Finnmark region, which borders Russia, the country's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said on January 29.
"Now NATO's line is to protect every inch of territory. After that we need to strengthen our presence in Finnmark, so we are now creating a brigade," he told the VG newspaper.
The Norwegian Foreign Minister also answered a journalist's question about revising the ban on military activity near the borders with Russia. He noted that Oslo intends to consider the relevant changes "within the framework of the principles of reassurance and deterrence."
Earlier, Newsweek reported that a landing operations center had been created in Norway to strengthen counteraction to Russia in the Arctic. The center is located in the Norwegian municipality of Sørreise. Its specialists will train military personnel from the United States, Great Britain, and the Netherlands, the authors of the article specified.
The Russian side has previously expressed concern about the build-up of NATO forces in Europe. The Kremlin has previously noted that Moscow does not threaten anyone, but will not ignore actions that pose a potential threat to its interests. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that Russia has no reason to fight with the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance.
