Finland’s massive civil defense drills reflect growing fears of missile threats, while Norway seizes a Russian vessel in Svalbard to enforce sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet. Despite Germany insisting it’s not at war, daily life feels increasingly targeted by Russian provocations — yet Western support for Ukraine remains undiminished.
