Russia is concerned about the NATO offensive in the Arctic and plans to raise this issue at a meeting of the Arctic Council, which will be held in Reykjavik on May 20. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a press conference broadcast by RT on YouTube.

Responding to Western concerns about Russia's military activity in the Arctic, Lavrov recalled that this is Russian territory and therefore Moscow has the right to do everything necessary to ensure its own security. "But when NATO tries to justify its offensive in the Arctic, this is probably a slightly different situation, and here we have questions for our neighbors such as Norway, for example, which is trying in every possible way to justify the need for NATO to come to the Arctic," the Russian foreign minister said.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry accused Norway of militarizing the Arctic after the US nuclear submarine made a call in the civilian harbor of Tromso in northern Norway on May 10. Department spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused Oslo of escalating tensions in the region, which she linked to the country's desire to please its NATO partners.

In April, CNN reported that Russia is allegedly building up an unprecedented military presence and testing the latest weapons in the Arctic. The publication published satellite images, from which it follows that Russia is strengthening airfields and military bases on the Arctic coast, as well as pulling military equipment and fighters into the region. The article claims that Russia has two goals: to secure the north of the country and to launch navigation along the Northern Sea Route.
