<p>The Kremlin announced its intentions to bring its military to the Arctic in 2008 but has yet to station troops there.</p>
<p>Sergei Shoigu told Russian news agencies that the &#8220;creation and arming&#8221; of the Arctic military unit should be completed by 2018.</p>
<p>He said Russia is building several new bases in the Arctic as well as rebuilding six Soviet-era air bases there.</p>
<p>Russian officials have previously stated that the air base facilities are essential for protecting shipping routes that link Europe with the Pacific region across the Arctic Ocean.</p>
