Norway, an ally of Ukraine and Europe's top supplier of pipeline gas, has been increasingly concerned that Russian intelligence agencies could target its energy infrastructure, either physically or via cyber attacks. "The northernmost counties and Svalbard are of particular interest and therefore especially exposed to intelligence and influence activities," it added. "Russian intelligence may see benefit in carrying out sabotage operations on targets in Norway in 2026," it said. PST also said that Russian services ‌are increasingly trying to recruit Ukrainian refugees in Norway to gather intelligence or carry out sabotage. There has been a wave of arson, sabotage and cyberattacks in Poland and other European nations since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
