Let's start with defining terms here. I would argue that spying (e.g. observing) and attack (DDoS, trying to alter data etc) are already different.

Second, you can doubt, but you don't have any evidence that they're not doing this (as well as I don;t have any evidence that they're doing then). Given that Norway is a part of a block that is opposite to Russia, I'd expect that Norway has operations that are targeting Russia.

Often, the only way to spy on a server is to first attack it, and gain an "implant" on it. That's still an attack.

Since proving the negative is impossible, it is sufficient that you don't have any evidence they are doing this. You draw your conclusions from thin air.
