Putin Warns of Foreign Interference Ahead of Duma Elections<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Arctic has relevance for global ecology, for energy and raw materials complexes, and for logistics links, he pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe importance of the Northern Sea Route as the safest, most reliable and efficient path is becoming increasingly evident in the context of failures in global transportation chains due to numerous conflicts, including the Middle West one,\u201d the Russian leader stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putin also noted that his country is willing to cooperate on issues related to the Arctic region despite geopolitical competition for the area. \u201cIt is not simply about competition and confrontation, but about collaborating with all interested countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putin was emphatic in stating that Russia will protect its national interests in the Arctic, linking that goal to the preservation of stability and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy maintaining peace and stability in this strategic region, we will ensure its long-term socioeconomic development, improve people\u2019s quality of life, preserve the original culture of the Indigenous peoples of the north and conserve the Arctic\u2019s unique natural environment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Russian president underscored that large-scale work is already underway, with projects for the extraction and processing of natural resources and the expansion of its production base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are strengthening the Arctic logistics network, including seaports and river ports, railways and roads, as well as airports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putin also stated that plans are being developed and must be implemented to connect the Northern Sea Route with Russia\u2019s railway network and inland waterways, in addition to expanding and building new port terminals and shipbuilding capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course, the key task is to improve the quality of life in the Arctic: to create modern conditions for studying, working, resting, and raising children,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
