“The Arctic is too important for a Cold War-style policy. Moscow and Washington must find common ground to ensure stability, the development of resources and the protection of the environment.

Cooperation is not an option, it is a necessity,” Dmitriev wrote on his X account.

In February, Dmitriev said that Russia and the United States discussed possible joint projects in the Arctic during a meeting in Riyadh.

According to Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the two countries have a wide scope for cooperation in the development of natural resources in the Arctic.
