President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the development of support settlements in the Arctic zone of the country.
This event, which was attended by leading experts and government officials, is intended to highlight the importance of the strategic development of the North and its impact on the future of Russia, writes FederalPress.
Alexey Martynov, a famous Russian political scientist and human rights activist, shared his thoughts on the impact of the president’s actions on the development of the Arctic zone. According to him, over the past ten years, Russia has been able to achieve world leadership in the development of Arctic territories. This success is due not only to the development of infrastructure, but also to the development of the Northern Sea Route, which, thanks to the world’s largest nuclear icebreaker fleet, has become accessible year-round. This significantly contributed to the dynamic development of the region and reduced population outflow.
“Over the past ten years, the North has become a completely different place. People now not only do not want to leave, but are actively striving to go there,” Martynov noted.
The political scientist emphasized that the development of the Arctic zone is not only the development of natural resources, the riches of which are generously provided in the Arctic, but also issues of national security and military infrastructure. Thus, the importance of Arctic development cannot be overestimated.
Creating comfortable conditions for residents of the Arctic zone has become one of the key factors making this region attractive for living. The President of Russia has been paying special attention to the development of the Arctic territories over the past two decades, including the decision to restore and ensure year-round passage along the Northern Sea Route, which has attracted interest and support from both investors and Asian partners. This approach ensures a sustainable and prosperous future for the North and all of Russia.
