Moscow warns US: Russian special forces are training for Arctic conflict

Russian special forces are training for a potential conflict in the Arctic, a top lawmaker in Moscow said in a warning to the Trump administration.

“We have our own armed forces, which also have generals, just as capable, in my opinion,” Andrei Klimov, a member of the Russian legislature’s foreign affairs committee, told state-run TASS. “We have special units that may act in the Far North and its conditions, who have distinguished themselves.”
