Eirik Johan Kristoffersen Norwegian Chief of Defense speaks!

"Russian forces near Norway at '20% or less' than before Ukraine war - Norway's armed forces chief"

From Reuters via Yahoo.com | September 16, 2023.

"OSLO (Reuters) - Russian forces stationed in the Arctic near Norway are '20% or less' of the number they were before the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Norway's chief of defense said on Saturday."

"Norway is part of NATO and shares a border with Russia in the Arctic. The Nordic country borders the Kola Peninsula, home to most of Russia's nuclear weapons as well as its Northern Fleet, which operates Russia's nuclear submarines."

"'On our border, on the Russian border, there is maybe 20% or less (Russian) forces left than it used to be before Feb. 24, 2022,'"
