The adoption by the UK, which is not an Arctic state, of a military strategy for the Arctic increases tensions, Nikolai Korchunov, the Russian Foreign Ministry's ambassador-at-large for international Arctic cooperation, said Wednesday.
"For the first time, a non-Arctic country adopted an Arctic military strategy. This is an alarming step, which leads to escalation of tensions and requires a principled assessment by our Arctic partners," he said.
