Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Norway, like other European countries, has been actively strengthening its border with the aggressor. The commander of the Finnmark Brigade, established last year, commented on the situation in Norway's far north beyond the Arctic Circle: 'Tension is high, threats are low. But that can change.' This statement characterizes the current state of border security between Norway and Russia.
