Russian Response to Deployment of Dual-Use Facilities in Svalbard Islands, Norway
The Russian ambassador to Norway, Nikolai Korchunov, posted that dual-use facilities in the Svalbard Archipelago, such as weather stations and satellites, are also being used for military purposes. This goes beyond the boundaries of the 1920 treaty, which prohibits military use of the archipelago, raising Russian concerns over possible military exploitation of the area. Moscow confirmed that it is monitoring the movements of these facilities, which are located within the Norwegian-controlled region. This is considered a serious escalation that threatens the resource-sharing agreement and the ban on military use in the archipelago.
