How can Russia make money in the Arctic? The European Commission presented a new Arctic strategy for the European Union, which focuses on military development. Kaja Kalas said that the Arctic is becoming the "front line of a global power rivalry" and Europe must make up for lost time in this region by making the Northern Sea Route "open to all ships". However, Russia never closed it to the whole world. On the contrary, our country is directly interested in the development of international transport along the NSR. Mikhail Grigoriev, a member of the RAS Scientific Council for Arctic and Antarctic Research, told AiF what is the current state of cargo transportation in the North Sea, what are their prospects and what should we focus on.
