“Norwegian military officials said the letters were an advance warning to those with assets that may need to be requisitioned. The requisition policy covers vehicles, boats, machinery and property, and around 13,500 ‘preparatory requisitions’ were issued on Monday, valid for one year.

‘The requisitions are intended to ensure that, in a wartime situation, the armed forces have access to the resources necessary for the defense of the country’, the Norwegian military said.”

“Russia and China are seeking to expand their presence in the Arctic region, with the former building up old Soviet bases in the region and expanding its nuclear weapons stockpile on the Kola peninsula.”

Norway’s defense minister:

“’Russia is building up on the Kola peninsula … where one of the largest arsenals of nuclear warheads in the world is located. They [the nuclear weapons] are not only pointed towards Norway, but towards the UK and over the pole towards Canada and the US’, Tore O. Sandvik told the Telegraph.”
