«They continue to invest billions in their maritime capabilities, especially their Northern Fleet. Over the past two years, the number of Russian incursions into our waters has increased by 30%. This is most noticeable by the presence of their spy ships, such as "Yantar".

I can also tell you today that the advantages we enjoyed in the Atlantic since the end of the Cold War and World War II are under threat. We are holding on, but not very confidently. There is no room for complacency.

Our potential adversaries are investing billions. We must act, otherwise we will lose this advantage." Jenkins said.
