World War 3: Kremlin Warns of Arctic War With West: ‘Keep Out of Russia’s Polar Backyard’

World War 3: Kremlin warns of Arctic war with West: ‘Keep out of Russia’s polar backyard’

WAR could break out with the West over the Arctic, the head of Russia’s Northern Fleet has warned.

The risk of war in the Arctic involving Russia and NATO is rising, a Kremlin commander has claimed. The chilling forecast came from hawkish head of the Russian Northern Fleet, Vice-Admiral Alexander Moiseev, who warned NATO countries risk war over the Arctic.

He pointed to an alleged significant increase in NATO’s presence in polar waters warning how military exercises by Britain and the US along with other Western countries have doubled in five years.

The news comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin orders the reopening and modernisation of military bases along Russia’s 15,000 miles of Arctic coastline.

The Kremlin is currently tapping the area’s vast offshore oil and gas reserves.

Vice-Admiral Moiseev urged NATO to keep out of what Moscow sees as its mineral-rich polar backyard.
He said: “In the near future, we should expect a further increase in the military presence of the combined armed forces and, as a result, an increase in the likelihood of conflict.

“In recent years, the joint armed forces of the alliance’s member states have carried out dozens of exercises in the close proximity of our northern borders.

“The drills were different in size and involved various weaponry, ranging from nuclear submarines, carrier battle groups and other units, including special operations forces.”

The northern fleet commander accused the West of seeking to pressure Russia with sanctions and politicise multilateral cooperation in the Arctic.

He accused NATO countries of failing to recognise Russian national interests and a readiness to use military force as a means to achieve political goals.

And he claimed non-NATO countries Sweden and Finland were increasing their Arctic military interests – along with countries which do not have polar territory.
