Russia's Open Threat To NATO Nation Norway Over Nuclear Pact With France | Watch
Russia issued a stark warning to Norway over its decision to deepen nuclear deterrence cooperation with France. Moscow says Oslo's participation in a French-led nuclear initiative threatens Russian national security and "will not go unanswered," raising fears of a fresh confrontation between Russia and NATO. The warning came as Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre traveled to Paris to meet French President Emmanuel Macron and sign a new defense agreement. Norway is set to become the latest country to join France's expanding nuclear deterrence framework, a move Oslo says is driven by growing security concerns over Russia's military buildup and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
