SEVEROMORSK, May 13 – RIA Novosti. The intensity of NATO's operational and combat training activities near the Russian borders in the Arctic has increased in recent years, Admiral Alexander Moiseev, Commander of the Northern Fleet, said on Thursday.
"The NATO naval forces have begun the practice of performing regular single and group cruises of combat surface ships, which, I note, has not been the case since the Second World War. There is an increase in the duration of the presence of submarines and surface ships of the US Navy in the Barents and Norwegian Seas, " Moiseev said at a briefing for Russian and foreign journalists on the nuclear-powered missile cruiser Peter the Great.
According to him, the intensity of operational and combat training activities of the Joint Armed Forces of the Alliance has increased.
According to him, these actions "are provocative in nature and have a negative impact on the regional security system as a whole."
