  The article summarises the results of the 25th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2022), which was held in St. Petersburg from June 15 to 18, 2022. Those include current problems in the Arctic Council's activities, issues of the development of the Northern Sea Route, shipbuilding, and ship repair in the Arctic, ensuring security in the region by the forces and means of the Russian EMERCOM, the state and prospects of building the international Arctic station Snezhinka, and problems of education and personnel training. Particular attention is paid to increasing the role of science, scientific and educational centers in making strategic decisions on the development of the economy, social and spiritual spheres of the Arctic territories.

  Spitsbergen as part of the Arctic is the focus of attention for many actors in the geopolitical arena. In the 19th century the use of the archipelago for peaceful economic and scientific purposes was the main condition for international cooperation which was then encapsulated by the Spitsbergen Treaty in 1920 in Paris. The USSR joined the treaty fifteen years later. The paper emphasises that the Russian presence in Spitsbergen is preconditioned not only by economic benefits gained from ongoing coal mining, fishing, and tourism but also by strategic considerations as well as the prospect of discovering new minerals, especially rare earth metals. The article analyses Russian-Norwegian relations in the context of determining the status and economic activity on the archipelago. The paper explores the state policy of modern Russia over the last 30 years, reveals the nature and algorithm for resolving the conflict in summer 2022 caused by the sanctions of the EU on the delivery of cargo for the Arktikugol trust. Growing militarisation of Norway and tightened requirements of Norwegian legislation concerning the use of a special zone around the Svalbard archipelago increase military tension in the European continent. Finland and Sweden’s accession to NATO membership is a direct way to undermine the existing peace, stability, and atmosphere of interaction in the region and threaten Russia's national security. As a practical solution, the authors conclude that it is necessary to conduct consultations on the understanding and interpretation of the provisions of the Spitsbergen Treaty with its signatories, taking into account current international realities.

  After February 2022, the situation in the Arctic begins to acquire some features of a hybrid war. Many large European and Asian companies from unfriendly countries have left or declared their intention to leave economic projects in the Russian Arctic. Interaction with the foreign scientific community in the field of Arctic research has almost ceased. The well-established algorithm of the Arctic Council’s activities was violated (in March, the participation of Western countries in the events of the chairmanship of Russia (the RF) in the Arctic Council (2021-2023) was terminated; in June, the activities of the Council were resumed without the RF; the EU is trying to increase its influence on Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, which are founding AC members). In the summer, a conflict arose and was partially resolved in the Arctic related to the blocking by Norway of Russian cargo sent for Russians and employees of the Arktikugol trust in the village of Barentsburg on Spitsbergen under the pretext of implementing EU sanctions. Russia is working out additional specific steps to ensure state interests in the Arctic in the socio-economic and defense spheres.
