NATO’s Arctic Sentry Explained | Military Tensions in the Arctic | Russia, China & Greenland Dispute

Описание: NATO has launched a new military coordination initiative called “Arctic Sentry” aimed at strengthening security in the High North. While it is not a permanent NATO force, Arctic Sentry serves as a structured coordination framework that brings together existing Arctic military exercises under a unified NATO command structure.

As climate change accelerates ice melt, the Arctic is becoming strategically significant due to newly accessible sea routes, untapped natural resources such as oil and gas, and its critical military positioning between North America and Europe. This transformation has intensified geopolitical competition.

Russia has significantly expanded its Arctic military infrastructure, including air bases and naval facilities along its northern coastline. Meanwhile, China has declared itself a “Near-Arctic State” and increased its scientific, economic, and strategic engagement in the region.

This development also comes amid internal tensions within NATO following diplomatic controversy surrounding Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Arctic Sentry is widely viewed as an effort to reinforce alliance unity and collective defence in an increasingly contested region.

In this video, we explain:

• What is Arctic Sentry?
• Why is the Arctic strategically important?
• How are Russia and China expanding their presence?
• What is the Greenland dispute and why does it matter?
• What does this mean for global security and NATO’s future strategy?
