Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 disrupted European security and changed the risk calculations of Russia's neighbors, leading to heightened tensions in the Arctic and other seas. NATO navies have had serious encounters with the Russian navy, which has become more aggressive and inexperienced. The Russian navy, already weakened by the war, has been tracked by NATO warships in the Arctic, Baltic, and North Atlantic oceans. The Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov, equipped with zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, has caused concern as it approaches the US coast and conducts exercises. A Russian spy ship has also been spotted near the US coast, causing alarm. The Arctic has become a region of heightened security concerns, with Finland and Sweden requesting to join NATO and Russia's military interests in the region seen as both defensive and offensive. The US has released a new Arctic strategy, acknowledging the increased geopolitical tensions and risks of conflict created by Russia's war in Ukraine.
