There is a growing threat to undersea fibre optic telecommunications cables in Arctic waters. Earlier this year, NATO allies stopped a Russian submarine that was training to damage undersea cables in the Arctic, and a vessel in Russia’s shadow fleet damaged four cables near the Baltics. With the Arctic threat escalating, northern nations – including Canada – are now pushing to increase security in the region. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand tells The West Block “the Russian threat is moving further and further north towards the Arctic Circle.” Her warning comes after a senior Russian official warned that any move towards greater security in the region “increases the risks of incidents that could trigger… potentially disastrous consequences.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on TikTok HERE: https://www.tiktok.com/@globalnews.ca?l
