The Arctic region is a very important area for Europe and the UK from a safety point-of-view, which justifies the former’s growing concerns. Russia’s actions in the Arctic are majorly helping their war in Ukraine, but there’s more to the story for Britain’s worries.
Apparently, Russia’s activities could also put important things like – undersea internet and communication cables that connect to the UK – at risk. The UK is teaming up with Iceland to combat this threat.
UK Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, said that they will announce a new joint scheme with Iceland to use cutting-edge AI technology to monitor Russia’s activities.
Mr Lammy said: “It’s more important than ever that we work with our allies in the High North, like Norway and Iceland, to enhance our ability to patrol and protect these waters.”
