Russian Federation must be frightened. This conclusion was made by the Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg, speaking at the Global Leader Dialogue event in Berlin. According to her, the location of the Kingdom is of strategic importance.. “The one who controls our coast controls the North Atlantic and the transition to Russia,” the Norwegian government head quoted Der Tagesspiegel. She stressed that she does not believe in the return of the Cold War, but containment is necessary, for example, with respect to Vladimir Putin, including through large military maneuvers. "Anyone who gets in touch with the North Atlantic Alliance is expected to have serious consequences," Sulberg promised. She believes that Europe should invest more in its defense.. The Prime Minister noted that he considers it quite reasonable to spend 2% of the country's GDP on defense. Sulberg assured that Norway will certainly increase military spending. Norwegian also wants "Germany to take responsibility and initiative" in strengthening European security..

"Weak governments and leaky borders act as an invitation for criminal gangs," she said. Speaking at a meeting of the Valdai Club in Sochi today, President Vladimir Putin said that those who use nuclear weapons against Russia “will simply die” and “will not even have time to repent,” and the Russians, “as victims of aggression,” will go to heaven.

The head of state recalled that our country never delivers a preemptive strike, but always only responds.
