The bloc’s plans in the far North will upset the regional balance, a top Russian ambassador has said
NATO military expansion in the Arctic undermines regional security and warrants countermeasures from Russia, according to a senior Foreign Ministry official.
In an interview with RIA Novosti released on Sunday, Nikolay Korchunov, Russian ambassador-at-large, deplored rising tensions in the Arctic caused by what he called the unconstructive policies of the US and its allies.
He also said that NATO’s push to embrace Finland – which has already become a full-fledged member of the alliance – and Sweden shows that the bloc supports « forceful scenarios to increase its own security in the North at the expense of the security of other countries.
