Lavrov acuză NATO că desfășoară activități militare agresive în Arctica: „O amenințare directă pentru Rusia, cu consecințe catastrofale”

Serghei Lavrov accuses NATO of aggressive military activities in the Arctic, claiming they pose a direct threat to Russia. He warns that incidents could lead to armed confrontation with catastrophic consequences. Russia highlights NATO's increased military presence in the region, particularly through the 'Arctic Sentry' mission, as a significant security concern. The tensions are exacerbated by the ongoing war in Ukraine and the strategic importance of the Arctic, which is rich in natural resources. NATO members have accelerated defense investments in the northern flank, especially after Finland and Sweden joined the alliance, altering the strategic balance in the region.
