Shukin called the agreements between the Russian Federation and the USA on cooperation in the Arctic region necessary. The head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs noted that this will allow the two countries to cooperate effectively on the continent. "Talking and negotiating does not mean reaching an agreement. But in any case, negotiation is better than confrontation. We cannot allow NATO and the US to control the North Pole in the part where we see ourselves as the main power, the Arctic. Therefore, here, one way or another, we need to reach an agreement in any case," explained Alexander Shukin. He recalled that the Soviet Union and the United States tried to negotiate the Bering Sea and the Straits. The ombudsman pointed out that this did not go very well, so now we need to negotiate more effectively.
