Putin Highlights India's Interest in Russia's Northern Sea Route Amid Arctic Tensions
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that India is among the key countries showing growing interest in cooperating with Russia on the Northern Sea Route (NSR), an Arctic shipping corridor connecting Europe and Asia. Putin emphasized that such cooperation would adhere to international maritime law. He also warned of rising "artificial tensions" in the Arctic, attributing them to external actors including NATO expansion. These remarks come amid Western sanctions on Russia following the Ukraine conflict and Moscow's efforts to develop the NSR as an alternative trade route.
