Summary/Abstract: Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022, has sent shockwaves across the Arctic.

Maintaining peace and stability in the Arctic, within a world of heightened uncertainty, has forced NATO Allies to re-evaluate threats, strategic responsibilities, and opportunities for deeper collaboration as Arctic partners.
