Norway PM Warns Against Russia Hysteria in Ottawa Visit

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre warned against mass hysteria over Russia, saying fear could be inflated beyond reality, during a visit to Ottawa on Sunday. His warning follows a week of urgent alerts from Western intelligence and leaders, including Germany, Poland, and the US-based ISW, claiming Russia plans attacks on NATO countries to test Article 5. Recent incidents include a Russian frigate firing flares at a Danish helicopter and a secret Russian weapon designed to cut undersea cables near Svalbard, with ISW noting a new Western openness about these threats.
