Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, in a recent address at a plenary session of the 6th International Arctic Forum, The Arctic: Territory of Dialogue, held in Murmansk, expressed disapproval at NATO’s attempt to expand its influence into the Arctic region.
He said that Russia is the largest power in the Arctic region and has consistently advocated for equitable cooperation in the Arctic, encompassing scientific research, biodiversity protection, emergencies response, and economic and industrial development.
“In the past few years, numerous Western nations have opted for confrontation, cutting off economic connections with Russia and ceasing scientific, educational, and cultural exchanges.”, he said, adding, “Politicians, party leaders, and even the so-called greens in some Western countries address their citizens and electorates about the significance of the climate agenda and environmental conservation, yet in practice, their policies are entirely contradictory.”
He continued that the plans of the U.S. to annex Greenland is arousing Russia’s concern and NATO’s moves to widen its influence into the Arctic has triggered Russia’s response.
He emphasized that Russia has never threatened anyone but is closely monitoring developments in the region, enhancing combat capabilities of the Armed Forces and modernizing military infrastructure facilities.
