In NATO’s new north, fresh chances to contain Moscow

 

By Anne Kauranen and Johan Ahlander

 

GUS: THIS ARTICLE IS FULL OF MISINFORMATION AND AGGRESSIVE NONSENSE. 

 

TORNIO, Finland/KARLSKRONA, Sweden, July 3 (Reuters) - High above a railway bridge spanning a foaming river just outside the Arctic Circle, Finnish construction workers hammer away at a project that will smooth the connections from NATO's Atlantic coastline in Norway to its new border with Russia.

"We will be removing some 1,200 of these one by one," says site manager Mika Hakkarainen, holding up a rivet.

Until February 2022, the 37-million euro ($41 million) electrification of this short stretch of rail – the only rail link between Sweden and Finland – simply promised locals a chance to catch a night train down to the bright lights of Stockholm.

After Russia invaded Ukraine, that changed.

Now Finland is part of NATO, and Sweden hopes to join soon.

As the alliance reshapes its strategy in response to Russia's campaign, access to these new territories and their infrastructure opens ways for allies to watch and contain Moscow, and an unprecedented chance to treat the whole of northwest Europe as one bloc, nearly two dozen diplomats and military and security experts told Reuters.

 "PUT RUSSIA AT RISK"

The Finnish rail improvements around Tornio on the Swedish border are one example. Due for completion next year, they will make it easier for allies to send reinforcements and equipment from across the Atlantic to Kemijarvi, an hour's drive from the Russian border and seven hours from Russia's nuclear bastion and military bases near Murmansk in the Kola peninsula.

Among forces based there, Russia's Northern Fleet includes 27 submarines, more than 40 warships, around 80 fighter planes and stocks of nuclear warheads and missiles, data collected by the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA) shows.

In a military conflict with NATO, the Fleet's main task would be to secure control of the Barents Sea and stop ships bringing reinforcements from North America to Europe through the waters between Greenland, Iceland and the UK.

That's something Finland can help NATO resist.

"It's all about containing those kinds of capabilities from the north," retired U.S. Major General Gordon B. Davis Jr. told Reuters.

Besides opening its territory, Helsinki is buying the right assets, particularly fighter jets, "to add value to (the) northeastern defence and, frankly, in a conflict put Russia at risk," he said.

 

Sweden's contribution will, by 2028, include a new generation of submarines in the Baltic Sea that Fredrik Linden, Commander of Sweden's First Submarine Flotilla, says will make a big difference in protecting vulnerable seabed infrastructure and preserving access – currently major security headaches, as the September 2022 destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines read more showed.

"With five submarines we can close the Baltic Sea," Linden told Reuters. "We will cover the parts that are interesting with our sensors and with our weapons."

Analysts say the change is not before time. Russia has been actively developing its military and hybrid capabilities in the Arctic against the West, partly under the cover of international environmental and economic cooperation, the FIIA's Deputy Director Samu Paukkunen told Reuters. Russia's defence ministry did not respond to a request for comment.

Paukkunen's institute estimates Western armed forces are militarily about 10 years behind Russia in the Arctic.

Even with the losses that Russia has sustained in Ukraine, the naval component of the Northern Fleet and the strategic bombers remain intact, Paukkunen said.

NATO-member Denmark phased out its submarine fleet in 2004, part of a move to scale back its military capabilities after the end of the Cold War, and it has yet to decide on future investments. Norway is also ordering four new submarines, with delivery of the first due in 2029.

"It seems to me that we have some catching up to do, because we haven't done it properly for the last 25 years," said Sebastian Bruns, a senior researcher into maritime security at Kiel University's Institute for Security Policy.

 

"A WHOLE PIECE"

Both developments show how the expanded alliance will reshape Europe's security map. The region from the Baltic in the south to the high north may become almost an integrated operating area for NATO.

"For NATO it's quite important to have now the whole northern part, to see it as a whole piece," Lieutenant Colonel Michael Maus from NATO's Allied Command Transformation told Reuters. He chaired the working group which led Finland's military integration into NATO.

"With (existing) NATO nations Norway and Denmark, now we have a whole bloc. And thinking about potential defence plans, it's for us a huge step forward, to consider it as a whole area now."

This became clear in May, when Finland hosted its first Arctic military exercise as a NATO member at one of Europe's largest artillery training grounds 25 km above the Arctic Circle.

The nearby town of Rovaniemi, known to tourists as the home of Santa Claus, is also the base of Finland's Arctic air force and would serve as a military hub for the region in case of a conflict. Finland is investing some 150 million euros to renew the base to be able to host half a new fleet of 64 F-35 fighter jets, due to arrive from 2026.

For the May manoeuvres, nearly 1,000 allied forces from the United States, Britain, Norway and Sweden filled the sparse motorways as they joined some 6,500 Finnish troops and 1,000 vehicles.

Captain Kurt Rossi, Field Artillery Officer of the U.S. Army, led a battery bringing in an M270 multiple rocket launcher.

It was first shipped from Germany across the Baltic Sea, then trucked nearly 900 km to the north.

"We haven't been this close (to Russia) and been able to train up in Finland before," Rossi said.

If there was a conflict with Russia in the Baltic Sea area – where Russia has significant military capabilities at St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad – the shipping lane NATO used for that exercise would be vulnerable. Finland relies heavily on maritime freight for all its supplies – customs data shows almost 96% of its foreign trade is carried across the Baltic.

The east-west railway link across the high north will open up an alternative, which could prove crucial.

"I think the Russians can quite easily interrupt the cargo transportation by sea so basically this northern route is the only accessible route after that," said Tuomo Lamberg, manager for cross border operations at Sweco, the Swedish company designing the electrification.

 

"NOTHING BEATS THEM"

But that risk, too, may recede when Sweden joins NATO.

Down beneath the Baltic Sea waterline, the submarine commander Linden shows a reporter the captain's quarters of the Gotland, one of four submarines currently in Sweden's fleet, which will bring NATO's total in the Baltic countries to 12 by 2028.

The Kiel institute expects Russia to add one to three submarines in the coming years, to bring its Baltic submarine total to four, along with its fleet of around six modern warships. Its capabilities at Kaliningrad also include medium-range ballistic missiles.

"This can be the loneliest place in the world," says Linden, who captained the vessel for many years. On a typical mission, which lasts two to three weeks, there is no communication with headquarters, he said.

The Gotlands, like Germany's modern Type 212 submarines, will be among NATO's most advanced non-nuclear submarines and can stay out of port for significantly longer than most other conventional models, the researcher Bruns said read more .

"I would say, without a doubt, that the Gotland-class and the German Type 212 are the most capable non-nuclear submarines in the world," said Bruns.

"There is nothing that beats them, quite literally. In terms of how quiet they are, the engines they use, they are particularly quiet and very maneuverable."

In submarine warfare, Linden said, the primary question is where the adversary is. A careless crew member dropping a wrench or slamming a cupboard door can lead to detection.

"We talk quietly on board," Linden said. "You shouldn't believe ... films where orders are shouted."

The Gotland is based at Karlskrona, about 350 km across the Baltic from Kaliningrad. With an average of 1,500 vessels per day trafficking the Baltic according to the Commission on Security and Cooperation In Europe, it is one of the world's busiest seaways – and there is really only one way out, the Kattegatt Sea between Denmark and Sweden.

The shallow and crowded seaway can only be accessed through three narrow straits that submarines can't pass through without being detected.

LISTENING POWERS

If any of the straits were to be closed, the sea freight traffic to Sweden and Finland would be hit hard and the Baltic states completely cut off. But with Sweden in the alliance, that becomes more preventable, because Sweden's submarines will add to NATO's listening powers.

Linden says the Gotland's crew can sometimes hear Russia's vessels. The range of sound travel varies partly depending on the seasons. In winter, he said, you can hear as far as the island of Oeland – just a bit further than the distance between London and Birmingham in the UK.

"You can lie outside Stockholm and hear the chain rattling on Oeland's northern buoy," Linden said. "In the summer you can hear maybe 3,000 meters."

By 2028, once Sweden takes delivery of a new design of vessel, this capacity will increase. The new design, known as A26, will allow submarine crews to deploy remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), combat divers or autonomous systems of some sort without putting the submarine or crew at risk, Bruns said.

"Depending on the mission it could be an ROV that safeguards a pipeline or data cable, it could be combat divers that go ashore in the cover of darkness, it could be almost anything."

That capacity will increase Sweden's scope to control comings and goings through the Baltic.

"If you count all the forces, with Germany in the lead and Sweden and Finland coming on board, all those have really shifted the balance in the Baltic Sea quite significantly," said Nick Childs, Senior Fellow for Naval Forces and Maritime Security at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

"It would make it very difficult for the Russian Baltic Sea fleet to operate in a free way," he said. "But it could ... still pose challenges for NATO."

NATO plans massive escalation against Russia at Vilnius summit

 

by Andre Damon

Next week, July 11-12, NATO will hold a summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, where the military alliance is expected to announce plans that aim to rapidly increase military spending, send troops to the borders of the Russia and to dramatically increase its involvement in the war in Ukraine.

At the last NATO summit in June 2022, the alliance pledged to "provide the full range of forces"which are necessary"for high-intensity, multi-domain warfare against nuclear-armed competitors».

Under conditions where the much vaunted counter-offensive by the Ukrainian military has turned into a protracted debacle, NATO is under pressure to intervene directly in the conflict in order to achieve its objective which is, in the words of a former NATO commander, from "break the kidneysfrom Russia.

It was in this context that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of mining the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP) with the aim of blowing it up.

In a video speech released on Tuesday, Zelensky said that "every day we add content to the NATO summit that will be held in Vilnius next week" and which will guarantee "security in Europe», before mentioning the Zaporizhzhia plant.

Zelensky claimed that "Russian troops have placed objects that look like explosives on the roof of several production units of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant". He accused Russia of wantinginflict new damageto the central. He added: "It's everyone's responsibility in the world to stop it».

Contrary to Zelensky's statements, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a statement that no "visible indication of mines or explosiveshad been observed in the plant, which is monitored by the organization.

The phrasing of Zelensky's comments makes it clear that this is an attempt to use any potential incident or provocation at the plant as a pretext for more direct NATO military involvement in the conflict.

In an article published last week in Political, Ivo Daalder, former US ambassador to NATO, called on the alliance to respond to any "deliberate nuclear incident" with direct intervention in the conflict.

«In the event of a deliberate nuclear incident, the United States and key NATO allies must intervene directly. They must end the war quickly and completely by helping Ukraine to restore control over all of its territoryDaalder wrote.

In an article published in February on the revelation by veteran journalist Seymour Hersh of the direct involvement of the United States and Ukraine in the bombing of the German-Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream, the World Socialist Web Site warned that the United States could stage a provocation to justify its direct entry into the war:

In 1898, the explosion of the battleship USS Maine in the port of Havana, presented as an act of war, was used to start the Spanish-American War and to send troops to Cuba and the Philippines. The Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, which the United States invoked to engage directly in the Vietnam War, was fabricated from scratch... There is the precedent of the attacks of September 11, 2001, which have been used to justify the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the whole "war on terrorism».

The WSWS added:

The greater the escalation, the greater the lie… The White House has every power to mount a provocation that aims to galvanize public support for the war, whether by provoking a Russian reaction or by fabricating an "attack" from scratch.

It is not known whether such a provocation will take place before the summit. It is clear, however, that the summit will be used for a significant escalation of the conflict between the United States and Russia.

Ahead of the summit, a group of retired generals and foreign policy officials called on the United States to explicitly support the military reconquest of Crimea and do whatever is necessary to make it happen.

Among the signatories of the letter are retired Generals Philip Breedlove and Wesley Clark, NATO's two Supreme Allied Commanders in Europe, as well as Ben Hodges, former Commanding General of the United States Army in Europe, and Michael McFaul, former United States Ambassador to Russia.

The signatories to the letter also include all key witnesses to Donald Trump's first impeachment in 2019, which the Democratic Party deliberately centered on allegations that Trump was undermining war preparations against Russia. Among them are former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, former US Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker, retired Colonel Alexander Vindman and former US Ambassador to Ukraine William B. Taylor. Ukraine.

Critically, the list also includes Douglas Lute who in 2022 said the Taliban should serve as a model for arming Ukraine, saying the United States should “provide resources to Ukrainians like Pakistan l 'did with the Taliban'.

The letter asks NATO to commit itself to “winning” the war against Russia and to openly affirm its efforts to reconquer Crimea militarily:

This means taking steps to ensure that Ukraine 1) wins this war and restores full control of its internationally recognized 1991 borders; and 2) be fully anchored in the economic and security agreements which, from 1945 to 2014, made Europe a continent of peace, prosperity and cooperation. The transatlantic community can only be stable and secure if Ukraine is secure. Ukraine's entry into NATO, in accordance with the promise made at the NATO summit in Bucharest in 2008, would make it possible to achieve this objective.

The letter further requests the following:

In Vilnius, NATO Heads of State and Government are expected to make an unequivocal statement of alliance support for Ukraine and Kyiv's goal of regaining its sovereignty and territorial integrity within of its 1991 borders. They should further stress that they are ready to supply Ukraine with weapons – including longer-range missiles such as ATACMS, warplanes and Western tanks – in quantity enough to prevail on the battlefield.

Beyond direct intervention in the conflict, NATO is set to approve plans to massively increase NATO troops on Russia's borders. Describing these plans, Political reported earlier this year that “in the coming months, the alliance will accelerate its efforts to stockpile equipment along the alliance's eastern border. They are going to designate tens of thousands of forces which can rush to the aid of the allies on short notice… The numbers will be significant, the officials evoking the idea of ​​300.000 NATO soldiers”.

In addition, NATO officials said the alliance would institute a "floor" for military spending, with 2 percent of GDP being an absolute minimum for alliance members.

French President Emmanuel Macron realizes that Eastern European states are becoming more influential within NATO, and has shifted his rhetoric on the bloc to match them, Bloomberg reported on Saturday. Macron recently backed a “path” to NATO membership for Ukraine.

Before the conflict in Ukraine began, Macron was regarded as one of Europe’s most NATO-skeptic leaders. He proclaimed the bloc “brain dead” in 2019, and spent his first term in office repeatedly calling for the establishment of a “true European army” independent from the US. Even throughout the first year of the conflict, Macron stayed in phone contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin and distanced himself from “Anglo Saxon” leaders, whom he said seek to “annihilate” Russia.

However, his rhetoric has since changed. In May, Macron called on NATO leaders to offer Kiev a “path” to full membership in the bloc, and declared that the EU and NATO should expand their military cooperation “as quickly as possible.” 

The shift was a calculated one, Bloomberg reported. Citing a diplomat from Eastern Europe, the newspaper explained that “positioning France alongside Ukraine’s fiercest supporters, Poland and the Baltic states, helps to fill the gap left by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s more cautious approach.”

A French diplomat framed Macron’s apparent conversion in more ideological terms, stating that the president “has understood he needs to be on the right side of history,” in Bloomberg’s words.

In order to convince NATO’s eastern members, Macron will need to back his words with actions, the newspaper claimed. Although France was one of the first NATO members to provide Kiev with armored vehicles, France will likely need to up its spending on Ukraine to beyond its current level of 0.3% of GDP, Bloomberg suggested.

However, anonymous French officials told the newspaper that Macron’s government is already examining how its nuclear arsenal could “contribute to Ukraine’s security guarantees.” 

While offering to protect Ukraine with nuclear weapons would be a seriously escalatory step, some officials Bloomberg spoke to regarded Macron’s recent statement as “hot air.” With his attempts to dissuade Putin from sending troops to Ukraine failing last year and his offer to help China negotiate a peace deal languishing, one anonymous official explained that Macron is enthusiastically backing NATO expansion simply because everything else he has tried “hasn’t worked.”
