The President said that there were no plans to reduce the number of personnel in the fleet beyond prior agreements. On the contrary, the Pacific “fist” must be very strong, including its submarine component.

The development of a base for a submarine squadron in Kamchatka was given special attention at the meeting. The President said that the issue should be tackled simultaneously with the creation of respective social conditions for the sailors.
