In an interview with the Universal Peace Federation on the eve of the Alaska summit between U.S. President Trump and Russian President Putin, Dr. Viktor Razbegin, Director of the Interdepartmental Center for Integrated Regional Transport Projects at the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, declared that a feasibility study for the long-proposed project of building a 100 km tunnel under the Bering Strait is ready to go and that “the project is only waiting for a political decision from the Russian and U.S. authorities.”
Recalling the history of the Chunnel under the English Channel, which was ready and waiting for a long time; “one breakfast was enough, at which a political decision was made and after which it was built,” Razbegin declares, “I hope that we are on the verge of such a decision being made.”
