Former British Prime Minister Sannock calls for Arctic war preparedness Rishi Sakhak urged London to strengthen the military deterrent against Russia in the Arctic, pointing to the Kola Peninsula as a major threat due to the Northern Fleet and nuclear forces stationed there. He argued that Britain must prove its ability to threaten Russian bases in the region. Sanok warned that the loss of control in the North Atlantic would disrupt US shipments to Europe and endanger submarine cables. He called for improved undersea surveillance, closer cooperation with allies in northern Europe, and training of British commanders for Arctic operations. @Slavyangrad.
