Putin said the government had miscalculated with infrastructure development

RUSSIA did not manage to implement plans for infrastructure development in a timely manner before the imposition of sanctions, which is regrettable, Putin said. At the same time, he noted that Vladimir Putin already has new plans for this at the plenary meeting of the Eastern Economic Forum

Russia did not have time to implement plans for the development of railway infrastructure before the imposition of sanctions, here “the government miscalculated a little,” President Vladimir Putin said, speaking at the plenary session of the World Economic Forum in Vladivostok. RBC is broadcasting.

According to Putin, after the sanctions for the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Moscow understood “what was unfolding and where.”

“But what happened after 2014, after Western countries supported the coup in Ukraine and started the war in Donbass, many processes began to accelerate. Here we can only regret that we did not implement in a timely manner the plans that we had for the development of infrastructure, including the railway network to the Far East . To be honest, the government miscalculated a little,” Putin said.

According to him, the authorities thought that there would not be such a volume of cargo transportation, but in recent years it turned out to be greater than one could imagine. “But it’s okay, we’re coping, there are plans,” Putin added.

At the meeting with the moderators of the EEF sessions, the president also called for expanding the eastern training ground of Russian Railways as quickly and efficiently as possible.

At the end of 2022, the total net profit of the 18 leading freight car operators on the Russian Railways network in 2022 amounted to 226.2 billion rubles, which is 2.3 times more than in 2021.
