Russia will use a number of measures, including preventive measures, to respond to NATO’s military strengthening in the Arctic, Foreign Ministry Ambassador Nikolai Korchunov said.
According to the diplomat, the military-political tension in the Arctic arose due to the unconstructive line of the United States and its allies.
“The course of strengthening NATO’s military potential in this region, including the entry of Finland into the alliance and the planned inclusion of Sweden in it, points to the prevalence of strong scenarios in NATO aimed at ensuring its own security in the northern latitudes at its own expense. “We are concerned about the security of other countries,” Korchunov said.
