The allegations came from Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, according to the TASS news agency.
– Zakharova said on Wednesday that foreign military bases have been established in Norway on a permanent basis.
– The infrastructure has been modernized, modern equipment has been purchased, and Oslo is now among the most active supporters of NATO’s involvement in the Arctic, he added.
Zakharova said that Norway is deliberately following “a destructive course towards increasing tensions in the Euro-Arctic region and the ultimate destruction of Russian-Norwegian relations”.

He also said that Russia is always open to dialogue, but all unfriendly actions will be met with a “proper and adequate response”.
According to Dagbladet, he also touched on strengthening the readiness of the Norwegian Armed Forces.
– This would not have bothered us if it were not for one thing: they said that this action was caused by the actions of Russia, and they believe this dangerous situation. “No, it’s not because of our actions, but because of your actions – you are in the West,” said a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman.
Imprisoned Russians
Zakharova also said that relations between Russia and Norway had “reached rock bottom”. She placed the blame solely on Norway.
In addition, he alleged that the Norwegian authorities had launched a campaign “targeting Russian tourists imprisoned in Norway”.
Several Russian citizens have been jailed in Norway this fall for violating regulations related to drone flights.
Relations between Russia and the West have deteriorated sharply since the invasion of Ukraine by large Russian forces in February. Russian soldiers in Ukraine have been repeatedly accused of war crimes.
Like other Western countries, Norway has provided extensive military and financial support to Ukraine and the country’s security forces.
