Russia is rapidly expanding its military infrastructure along the borders with Northern Europe and the Baltic states. A joint investigation by Norwegian broadcaster NRK, Swedish television channel SVT, Danish corporation DR, and Estonian Delfi has revealed that new barracks, military towns, warehouses, and equipment depots are being built near NATO borders. According to analysts' estimates, upon completion of these projects, Russia will be able to station up to 115,000 troops in the northwestern direction – nearly six times more than before the full-scale war in Ukraine.
