Svalbard is no longer just a frozen frontier. It is a geopolitical grey zone where NATO, Russia, Arctic infrastructure, strategic corridors and silent competition increasingly converge beneath the surface of international politics. In my latest analysis, I explore: • the strategic ambiguity of the Svalba
