Скачать или смотреть The Red Sea Crisis is Russia's $100 Billion Opportunity

The Red Sea shipping crisis has a surprising winner: Russia. With the Suez Canal route effectively closed, global trade desperately needs a safe, reliable shortcut. The world cannot afford the added time and cost of sailing around Africa forever.

Enter the Northern Sea Route. As Arctic ice melts due to climate change, Russia is strategically positioning itself to monetize the crisis. Moscow isn't fixing the Red Sea blockade—it's offering the Arctic as the only viable alternative. Every container ship that diverts north to save time now pays a transit toll and relies on Russian icebreakers, trading ice for immense geopolitical and economic leverage.

This short analyzes how global warming, a planetary crisis, has become a cornerstone of Russia's long-term business model. One region's security crisis is becoming another's trillion-dollar shortcut.
