US and Russia plan a $12 trillion agreement?

U.S. President Volodymyr Zelensky claims the U.S. and Russia are considering economic agreements amounting to $12 trillion, referencing a pact known as the 'Dmitriev Package.'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the United States and Russia are potentially planning economic agreements worth $12 trillion, mentioning the 'Dmitriev Package' - named after Kirill Dmitriev, a trusted negotiator of President Putin. While Zelensky did not elaborate on the details of the agreement, he noted that he is receiving information from Ukrainian intelligence services regarding these discussions.

Despite the enormous figures mentioned, it's clear that Washington aims to engage Moscow as an economic partner through this expansive deal. European diplomats have pointed out that the Trump administration's position on negotiations concerning war and peace in Ukraine revolves around the economic gains from potential agreements with Russia. Experts speculate that there is also an effort to separate Russia from its alignment with certain geopolitical interests.

The implications of such negotiations are vast, particularly given the historical tension between the U.S. and Russia. If a serious economic collaboration were to materialize, it could shift the dynamic in international relations, potentially easing some hostilities. Nevertheless, the skepticism surrounding the feasibility of such massive agreements remains, as many analysts await further details and confirmations.
