"Our motto, ideology and our plan "To live in the North", which we have been implementing since 2019 - last year was a record year for us <...>. Here have come to live with us permanently and work more people than the number of people that have left. The first and only Capital of the Arctic advance-development territory in the Arctic has appeared thanks to your support. The mechanisms are working, and they are working efficiently. Those are the projects that we are implementing, strategic projects like gas supplies. This way, we are changing our economy's technological structure. That is, we get the opportunity to process what we extract, including apatite concentrate and other resources. This means a significant change in the quality of life," the governor added.
