Putin praised the work of a logging complex and emphasized sustainable forest management during a meeting in the Arkhangelsk region.

The woodworking industry has potential for long-term growth, but sanctions and the global market have affected production volumes.
2/6
Putin called for support for domestic woodworking companies and modernization of the industry's technology and equipment.

He proposed using financing mechanisms to expand the market for wooden housing constructions & modernize heating systems using special pellets as fuel.
3/6
However, sanctions have negatively impacted the timber industry, with timber processors failing to export about 37.5% of their production in 2022.
4/6
Russia is focused on creating and modernizing wood processing facilities, expanding wooden housing construction, and producing high-value-added products.
5/6
Wood processing is a good candidate for achieving these goals as it has high potential and stable demand in the Asia-Pacific region, which is the world's main economic center.

🇬🇧🇷🇺⚡️A scandalous report from the British tabloid "The Sun" about the sending of Storm Shadow missiles to Kiev, which would allegedly fly towards the Crimean peninsula, appears to be a psychological attack intended to cause panic among the peaceful population of #Crimea.
1/4
According to military analysts, the dossiers on the alleged missile threat are likely exaggerated, as these subsonic missiles are primarily designed for targeting ships and are vulnerable to air defense systems.
2/4
Moreover, the Crimean peninsula is reportedly well protected by advanced air defense systems such as the S-400, Buk, Tor, and Pantsir, making any threat unlikely to be successful.
