Revision of the energy and transport policy of Russia under the modern geopolitical conditions on the example of the transport of Kuzbass coal in the international transport corridors

Abstract

The ongoing globalization of the world economy, increasing sanctions pressure from the countries of Western Europe and the United States, the need to increase income from transit traffic, the specific geographical position of Russia, the vast extent of its territory are the factors that determined the relevance of this study. The solution of these problems will be facilitated by increasing the volume of cargo transportation and cargo processing, the development of logistics services and the creation of a coherent system for minimizing the time of delivery of people and goods. The relevance for coal-producing regions is aggravated in connection with the adoption of the fifth package of sanctions against Russia, which includes an embargo on coal imports and the impossibility of its import to Europe through third countries. The purpose of the study is to prove the possibility and necessity of reorienting transport corridors for the supply of energy resources to the east. The actual problems of reorientation of cargo flows from Europe to Asia are considered. It was emphasized that international transport corridors are being formed to intensify foreign trade relations, develop transport communications, and attract investment to neighboring regions. It was revealed that the integrated development of Kuzbass is based on the fuel and energy, mining and metallurgical and tourist and recreational industries. The target for the development of Russia's energy policy should be longterm contracts with China and India.
