The European Commission unveiled a new Arctic strategy for the European Union on Tuesday, aiming to increase the bloc’s presence in the far north as melting ice opens new maritime routes. The strategy lists security and resilience first among four priorities, alongside climate change, economic prosperity and opportunities for Arctic communities, according to the reporting. It calls for a maritime security hub to share information and monitor activity at sea, and for more European icebreaker capacity. EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas said drone incursions, GPS jamming and cable sabotage undermine Arctic security. The EU is competing with Russia, China and the United States for influence in the region, where tensions with Russia and the United States have drawn new attention.
