MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved a long-term strategy for the development of the Russian Navy through 2050, said presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev in an interview published on Monday.

"In this strategy, the Navy's current condition and capabilities have been assessed in light of operational experience gained during the special military operation," Patrushev, who is also the chairman of the Maritime Board, was quoted by Russian news outlet Arguments and Facts as saying.

He emphasized that a powerful and modern navy cannot be developed without a long-term understanding of the global maritime environment, the evolution of military threats, and clearly defined national goals.

The document, which Putin approved on May 30, includes an analysis of the international military-political situation, potential scenarios for armed conflicts and the naval capabilities of major powers. It sets forth strategic objectives for Russia's naval forces in both peacetime and wartime, as well as key parameters for the fleet's future composition and modernization.

"In a word, this is a vital long-term document that answers the question of what Russia's naval power should look like to effectively defend its interests in the world's oceans," said Patrushev.
