📝 Summary

The North Atlantic Alliance plans to intensify military training activities near the northern borders of Russia, said the Director of the Department of European Affairs of the Russian Foreign Ministry Vladislav Maslennikov.

This conclusion he made based on the study of the updated Arctic strategy of the Pentagon. “Judging by the Pentagon’s Arctic strategy updated in July last year, we should expect NATO’s military training activities to intensify near our northern borders,” Maslennikov said. He added that recently there has been a tendency to use force methods in the Arctic. This, according to Maslennikov, implies an increase in the number of patrol missions of the alliance and cases of strategic aviation flying along Russian borders.
