They've been developing this under key policies. They have been doing the classic bad cop, good cop. The bad cop for the Arctic is Chilingarov. He's the one who is making by far the most unilateral statements--the patrols are, clearly. The Russians are clearly developing a diplomatic technique of pushing those countries. On the one hand, they hope to show their good will in terms of cooperation, but they're also letting everybody know that underneath that cooperation is a very stiff steel fist, in my opinion.
