Norway has announced plans to open a new NATO Arctic and amphibious warfare center in the municipality of Sorreisa, located near Russia’s strategic port of Murmansk. This new base will be pivotal in training US, British, and Dutch marines for potential amphibious assaults and military operations in the Arctic region. With heightened tensions between NATO and Russia, especially following Russia's military activities in Ukraine and the Arctic, this move signals a major shift in NATO’s defense strategy. The new hub is expected to be operational by 2026, and it aims to strengthen allied cooperation in the Nordic region. In response, Russia has warned of its readiness to defend its interests in the Arctic. What does this mean for the future of NATO-Russia relations?
