Russia to up arctic military due to climate change
“Our northern border used to be closed because of ice and a severe climate,” said Anton Vasilev, a special ambassador for Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“But the ice is going away we cannot leave 20,000 kilometres unwatched. We can’t leave ourselves in a position where we are undefended,” Vasilev said, in an interview with the Interfax news agency.
Global warming and demand for new energy sources make necessary new and clearer international agreements on the division of Arctic region’s resources and usage he said.
