20 October 2022 at 09:35 Støre on nuclear threats: Understands that people are afraid When one of our neighboring countries threatens to use nuclear weapons, it naturally creates fear, says Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Ap). – Then I want to make it very clear: Nuclear weapons must never be used. A nuclear war cannot be won and must not be fought. The Russian regime also knows that. Should there be radioactive fallout in Norway’s direction, we have good nuclear preparedness, according to Støre. – We have updated plans to meet such a situation with the necessary measures. But I still understand that many people are worried. I have met many children and young people in recent days who are afraid of what is happening, and I understand that well, he says. – I want to repeat: We do not see today a direct military threat to Norway, but we have sharpened our preparedness since December last year, ahead of the war, when we saw a military gathering of forces from the Russian side on Ukraine’s borders.
