Rishi Sunak: Britain must prepare for battle for the Arctic.
The former British Prime Minister stated that London must be ready to attack Russian bases on the Kola Peninsula. The Northern Fleet and a significant part of Russia's nuclear forces are located there.
According to him, the West must show Moscow that it is capable of causing damage to its military infrastructure.
The politician sees the loss of control over the North Atlantic as the main threat. In the event of war, this could complicate the transfer of American troops and equipment to Europe.
Undersea cables, through which about 99% of the world's Internet traffic passes, will also be at risk.
Sonak called for strengthening underwater surveillance, cooperation with allies in northern Europe and the preparation of British commandos for operations in the Arctic region.
Meanwhile, Russian naval activity off the UK coast has increased by 41%.
