Russia unveiled its new nuclear-powered icebreaker, Chukotka, at a ceremony in St. Petersburg, with President Vladimir Putin attending via video link from Moscow. This marks a significant step in Russia's plan to expand the Northern Sea Route, a crucial Arctic shipping route.
The Chukotka, the fifth ship of the Project 22220 series, is designed to ensure year-round navigation along the route, supporting Russia's growing transport infrastructure and enhancing connectivity for both domestic and international partners.
