Let me say a very simple thing: whatever Russia is doing or will do in the Arctic, it will be in strict adherence to international law--full stop. Nothing will be done, or might be done, but for that.
The positions of our two countries are pretty much the same. We are in the same boat. We have cooperation in the Arctic, and I mean real cooperation, when it comes to the Arctic region. Our search and rescue in the Arctic, which is, as a matter of fact, a trilateral endeavour with the United States, sets quite an example of what is really going on.
With regard to the statement you mentioned, there are lots of statements made on both sides, but there is a reality here. In reality, there is cooperation that is mutually beneficial. There is a long chain of examples of this mutually beneficial cooperation in the Arctic. Naturally, we will not under any circumstances act against the provisions of the international law; that is for sure.
