MOSCOW, May 22/ Radio Sputnik. The growth of military activity in the Arctic region cannot but worry Russia, Nikolai Korchunov, Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Chairman of the Committee of Senior Officials of the Arctic Council, told RIA Novosti.

"The traditional policy of Finland and Sweden, the policy of non-alignment to military alliances, has long created a solid foundation for maintaining peace and stability in high latitudes. Potentially, the accession of these countries to NATO is unlikely to contribute to achieving this goal," Korchunov assessed the prospect of NATO expansion.

The Ambassador noted that foreign military activity in the region cannot but cause concern to Moscow.

"We are seeing an increase in international military activity in high latitudes. There is an internationalization of military activity. This is, of course, a very disturbing trend – the transformation of the Arctic region into an international theater of military operations. This cannot but worry us," Korchunov said.

Discussions about the possible militarization of the Arctic intensified after Finland and Sweden announced their intention to join NATO after the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine.

The alliance has faced an obstacle from Turkey, which is not satisfied with the deployment of those organizations that Ankara considers terrorist on the territory of the countries.

Earlier, Sputnik radio told how the United States wants to expand its military presence in the Arctic.
