Abstract
After the tightening of sanctions against Russia by Western countries, our country sees its main partners among Asian countries, including in the framework of the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. India is paying attention to the Arctic. In 2022, it adopted a key Arctic policy document which also enshrines its economic interest in the region. The aim of the work is the studying of the relations that have developed between Russia and India in the Russian Arctic, as well as the identifying of possible areas of interaction between the two countries in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation after the start of a special military operation in Ukraine and the adoption by India of a political document on the Arctic. There are a structural-analytical approach, a research method based on secondary sources, generalization, synthesis, and comparative analysis in the article. The main area of cooperation between Russia and India in the Arctic region is the extraction, the transportation and the use of minerals located in the Russian Arctic to India. First of all, this concerns oil and liquefied natural gas. The development of the infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route, the scientific cooperation, the environmental and climate partnership, the study of the traditions and the culture of northern peoples and other areas for collaboration between Moscow and Delhi are at the formation stage, but there is enormous potential for their development.
