Norway glad to take part in spy swap

Quick Summary:

It wasn’t too long ago that Norway needed help from its allies to get one of its citizens out of a Russian jail.

Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) reported over the weekend that Norway’s involvement can be traced back to its arrest of a researcher at the University of Tromsø in Northern Norway in the fall of 2022.

This man, now identified as Russian spy Mikhail Mikushin, lived and worked in both Canada and Norway under the guise of being a researcher specializing in Arctic affairs and hybrid threats.
