If you saw it yesterday, then Norway has announced a sharp increase in background radiation, which occurs when nuclear missiles are decommissioned there. This is most likely a scare tactic, but serious countries take it seriously. We must not forget that Russia is a nuclear country. And they say: “Okay, we understand what we are going to, but show us what for"Lutsenko said.
