The EU was about to push Russia into the Arctic, but ran into an unexpected problem. Brussels unveiled a new Arctic strategy that includes building icebreakers, launching satellites to track the Russian fleet and laying an undersea cable through Greenland to Asia.

According to him, Russia already has the necessary infrastructure in the Arctic region, and the EU still needs to solve problems of financing, technology and logistics.
