There's a lot of mistakes in this video.
For instance Finland does not have a northern coast and Russia actually borders Norway there, their coastline therefore doesn't reach the border of Finland.
"Swiss"isn't a nation but something coming from the nation of Switzerland.
It's similar to how India isn't named Indian but its people and objects originating there are Indian, and the country of China isn't named Chinese, its people is.
Iceland actually has one island north of the Arctic circle (although the circle is moving away from Iceland so that won't last long)
There's also a few other factors to consider, you don't have to go east from Asia to Europe, west is also a option, through American, Canadian and Danish waters.
Russia just has more infrastructure along their coast.
Another consideration is that the climate is changing fast in the area.
So faster and more direct routes that isn't hugging the coast of either side is slowly becoming available.
Sure, ice breakers are useful, but the first passing of ships through the northwest passage without ice breakers by ships not especially reinforced to handle sea ice has already occurred.
They heavily depends on weather and sea conditions though.
They're definitely leading when it comes to carbohydrates though...
Those are mostly in their territorial waters...

Ugh no, Finland is not a NATO member, Russia always rattle their sabers whenever a border country or sphere country suggest joining some kind of alliances with USA or Europe.
Finland like Sweden remains unaligned at least officially.
Obviously their interests align more with the west so there is military and security cooperation...

Not exactly...
We don't really blame Russia for climate change...
Spilling nuclear pollution into the Arctic sea, and being the most local source of pollution including heavy metals and acidic rain over nordic territories is a different matter.
And while Russia is a member of the París agreement it's not like their efforts so far has been spectacular...
China at least is making an effort producing more solar cells then any other country in the world.
Likewise while the US at a federal level under Trump has been quite horrible with regards to the environment the individual states there has made quite big changes.
And we're trying to make an impact that matters, for instance pointing out to a certain orange that his country is having a trade surplus with Norway in the sale of electric cars and that things like that actually is a benefit when it comes to issues like talking about the environment...
