It is Britain's duty to prove that Putin cannot control the North Pole": the former British Prime Minister called on the country to prepare for war with Russia in the Arctic region.
"Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sonk said London should strengthen its military deterrence against Russia in the Arctic. He called the Kola Peninsula one of the main sources of threat to Great Britain, because the Russian Northern Fleet and a significant part of the Russian nuclear forces are located there. According to Sonck, Britain must show Moscow that in the event of war it can threaten the region.
Sonak argues that the main danger for London is a possible loss of control over the North Atlantic - this could complicate the transfer of American troops and equipment to Europe and create risks for undersea communication cables. He called for the strengthening of underwater surveillance, more active cooperation with allies in northern Europe and the preparation of British commanders for operations in Arctic conditions."
