"Against the backdrop of NATO's activities in the Baltic and Black Seas, as well as statements by Washington and London about their intentions to confront us in the Arctic region, there is a risk that the idea of its peaceful joint development will be a utopia," the Russian senator wrote on Twitter.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said there was no particular military tension in the region, but recalled recent NATO exercises in the Arctic.
