Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced the stationing of other soldiers in the Arctic. He calls on the Russian government to stimulate the construction and renovation of garrison cities in the Polar zone, said the Kremlin chef.
Russia will also force its rights to NATO, Putin emphasized. “Of course we are only worried about the fact that NATO countries have increasingly mentioned the distant north as a bridgehead of possible conflicts and rehearse the use of the army under these circumstances,” said Putin on the Arctic Forum in Murmansk.
Soldiers from Finland and Sweden would also be used “with whom we had no problems until recently”. Finns and Sweden came after the start of the Russian aggression war against their NATO safety at Ukraine.
Russia records claims in large Arctic areas
Russia does not threaten anyone, Putin emphasizes in Murmansk. At the same time, Moscow will not allow other countries to threaten the sovereignty and national interests of Russia, he said. Under the ice of the North Pole area, enormous deposits of oil and gas are suspected. Russia has already registered claims for large areas, which sees it as a submarine extension of the coast. At the same time, Putin said that Russia was open to the partnership of raw materials with Western companies.
Putin warns: “Trump is serious about Greenland”
In this context, De Kremlin also commented on the plans of US President Donald Trump to take over Greenland from Denmark. It was wrong to reject these plans as the “extravagant rhetoric of the new American administration”. It is a matter of serious plans from the United States to Greenland.
“It is clear that the United States will systematically force its geopolitical, military-political and economic interests in the North Pole,” said Putin. However, Greenland’s connection is a bilateral demand between two countries and has no influence on Russia.
