Norway has asked parliament to approve a $1.88 billion long-range strike program that would allow its army to hit targets up to 500 kilometers away, a capability that for the first time could put key Russian military sites on the Kola Peninsula within range and reshape the balance of power in the Arctic.

Russia’s occupation chief in southern Ukraine says he is ready to hand Belarus part of Ukraine’s Azov–Black Sea coastline for “resorts,” while Alexander Lukashenko warns Belarus must “update its defense measures”—a dual message pointing to deeper military coordination on occupied Ukrainian land.
