“Strictly speaking, the current activities amount to preparations for a conflict with Russia,” he stated.
The diplomat described the exercise as a signal and demonstration of NATO’s military capabilities.
From August 26 to September 4, the British, US and Norwegian armed forces trained on and around the island of Jan Mayen within the framework of the Arctic Sentry mission designed to strengthen NATO’s posture in the Arctic and High North.
