The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, defended the creation of a corridor between Saint Petersburg and Vladivostok during an economic conference, presenting it as an opportunity for new business and trade. The objective would be to facilitate the connection between the west and east of Russia.
At the same conference, Putin avoided talking about the sanctions imposed on Russia and the war effort, choosing to focus on economic issues. Instead, he emphasized the need to attract private investment to the country.
The Russian President also expressed the intention to curb the cooling of the economy, seeking alternatives to boost national economic activity. This approach comes in a context where the Russian economy faces significant challenges.
