Russian Transportation Policy and the New Geopolitical and Geoeconomic Reality

In the context of the formation of a new global architecture and the transformation of international logistics chains, updating Russia’s transport strategy is of paramount importance as a tool for spatial development, improving the quality of life, and strengthening the country’s long-term competitiveness. The following questions are key in this discussion: Is the world entering a phase of systemic confrontation, where security finally dominates commerce? What solutions does Russia need in these conditions today? To what extent does the growth of risks on traditional maritime routes require a revision of Russia’s transport strategy? Can the development of meridional corridors through the Trans-Urals, Siberia, and Central Asia become a basic mechanism for strengthening internal connectivity and shaping the framework of Greater Eurasia? How will the integration of the North–South axis with the Arctic affect Russia’s geoeconomic stability? What is needed to transform the Northern Sea Route from a national artery into a global Trans-Arctic corridor and a safe alternative to traditional logistics routes? To what extent does the creation of new military coalitions become a necessary condition for ensuring the security of key maritime systems and reducing dependence on external restrictions? What mechanisms within the BRICS+ framework are capable of ensuring the creation of an independent financial and insurance infrastructure for the sustainable functioning of maritime transport under sanctions pressure?
