“The Arctic is not the territory of the North Atlantic alliance,” Kremlin Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warns.

Russia is “fully ready” for a conflict with NATO in the Arctic, the country’s foreign minister warned.

“We see NATO stepping up drills related to possible crises in the Arctic,” Sergey Lavrov said, according to Russian state media, in comments for a documentary series that were first reported Friday.

“Our country is fully ready to defend its interests militarily, politically and from the standpoint of defense technologies," he added.

His comments mark the latest round of saber-rattling by the Kremlin, which has repeatedly… threatened … to … unleash … nuclear … war on NATO and its allies in recent years.

The Arctic is the northernmost point on Earth and includes territory belonging to eight nations: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Canada, the United States, Iceland and Russia. All except Russia are NATO members.
