Regarding the latter, the former prime minister said that the Arctic Council, which includes seven member states plus Russia, resumed its meetings without Russia:

They can hold as many gatherings without Russia as they want, but if they make decisions that ignore the interests of the greatest power in the Arctic North, all this is meaningless.”
