Summary: The Nordic-Baltic region is strategically and economically important to Germany and the UK, but remains an area of competition between the West and Russia. The Baltic Sea, in particular, is far from being a peaceful ‘NATO lake’. Regardless of how the war in Ukraine ends, Russia will remain a threat to the interests of EU and NATO countries in the Nordic-Baltic region. The UK and Germany should consider how they could do more in co-operation to protect critical energy and communications infrastructure in the Nordic-Baltic region, including by co-ordinated use of the Boeing P-8 maritime patrol aircraft that both operate. There is an opportunity for Germany and the UK to work together more closely in a region that matters to both of them. |
