Abstract
The article views the approaches of the Nordic countries to the problem of the development of the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) of the EU in the context of transatlantic relations. The author analyzed the possibilities of nordic defence cooperation in the event of an external threat factor. To strengthen cooperation between the Nordic countries and their further strong integration, it is proposed to form a stabilization operational troop group that could be sent to states that have been subjected to external intervention or in the event of other critical situations. The need to create such conditions as communication and communication. The Crimean crisis intensified the development of nordic defense cooperation. The aggression on the part of Russia in Ukraine, the growing activity of Russian submarines, naval forces and aviation in the North of Europe, and the growing geopolitical interests of Russia in the Arctic region create the need for intensification of nordic cooperation in the field of security and defense. The idea to strengthen the cooperation of the Nordic countries in matters relating to the presence and upholding of their interests in the Arctic, especially in the development of energy resources and the opening of new maritime trade routes becomes key. In this context, it is necessary to create a common civil maritime monitoring system for monitoring the environment and preserving the environment in the context of global warming. The proposal for the «Nordic Declaration of Solidarity» laid the political foundation for the creation of a military alliance of the Nordic countries. The necessity of creating a permanent political advisory body of the emerging military alliance of the northern countries is substantiated. Previously, it was only a matter of advisory activities in the framework of meetings of foreign ministers and defense ministers. The implementation of these measures could contribute to serious savings of the five countries in the field of security. At this stage NORDEFCO is the basis for the emerging military alliance of the Scandinavian countries and Finland.
