**LAVROV CALLS NATO MILITARY MISSION IN ARCTIC "DIRECT THREAT TO RUSSIA'S SECURITY"**



> "In close proximity to our northern borders, intensified military preparations are underway. Large-scale exercises of an aggressive nature are being conducted with the involvement of non-regional countries, and new elements of NATO's command-and-control structure are appearing. 
> 
> Such military activity in the Far North poses direct threats to Russia's security," Lavrov stated in an article.

**The statement refers to the NATO mission "Arctic Sentinel," launched in February 2026**, aimed at strengthening the alliance's presence in the Arctic—particularly in Greenland.

According to Lavrov, **the launch of this mission has increased the risks of "incidents that could provoke armed confrontation **with potentially catastrophic consequences."
