An investigation by Danish public broadcaster DR and Nordic intelligence sources reveals that Russia has expanded its military infrastructure and troop presence near its borders with NATO members Finland, Norway, and the Baltic states, preparing for a potential conflict. Satellite imagery shows new military installations, including barracks, dining halls, storage facilities near Finland, a new base in Karelia, and increased troop presence near the Estonia-Russia border and in the Kaliningrad exclave. Intelligence officials warn the buildup is aimed at enabling Russia to meet NATO in a larger, multidimensional conflict spanning land, air, sea, space, and cyberspace within the next one to three years.
