"Moscow has been seriously worried over plans by the United States to deploy missile warships in northern seas. Meeting with servicemen of the Western military district on Tuesday, Russia’s ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin said that Washington was studying the possibility of temporarily deploying its missile fleet in the North, Baltic and Barents Seas. But, he added, there is nothing more permanent than temporary. Russia has been firmly opposing the militarization of the Arctic and suggests turning the region into a key platform for economic and scientific cooperation between the Arctic “five” – Russia, Canada, the United States, Norway and Denmark. The Arctic is rich in hydrocarbons and offers vast opportunities for developing sea and air transportation.
