EU has to change posture in Arctic as Russia rebuilds military presence, von der Leyen

​The ​European Union ‌must change its ​strategic posture in the ‌Arctic as Russia is rebuilding its military footprint there and values ‌that underpinned security in the ‌region can no longer be taken for granted, European Commission President ⁠Ursula ​von ⁠der Leyen said on Tuesday.

"The Arctic ⁠is one place where the ​tectonic plates of geopolitics are ⁠colliding. And it is not ⁠someone ​else's frontier. It is part of the European ⁠Union," von der Leyen said, presenting ⁠a ⁠new EU strategy for the Arctic.
