Netizens criticize the bureau's actions, with some suggesting it's a case of 'killing the donkey after it's drawn the cart' or 'ghost salary'.

    Anton Kobyakov, advisor to the President of Russia, has described the Northern Sea Route (NSR) as an 'unprecedented opportunity' for transportation, particularly in the face of disrupted logistics chains. The route ensures the safety of temperature-sensitive goods, saves refrigeration capacity and insurance costs, and eliminates intermediate customs checkpoints. It is seen as a key part of Russia's 'turn to the East' strategy, offering an alternative to traditional routes blocked by politico-military conflict zones.
