The Kremlin is tempting Trump's team with profitable deals, without stopping the war against Ukraine, -. Le Monde.
The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, Kirill Dmitriev, convinces Washington to restore economic cooperation with Moscow even before the end of the war.
At the meeting in Florida, Vitkoff and Kushner proposed to Bodanov to restore the passage of Russian oil and gas through Ukraine, while guaranteeing revenues to Kiev and cheaper energy to Europe.
Our model is not Belarus, but Poland! replied the head of the president's office, according to an eyewitness.
When Trump's diesel deal with Putin became known during the negotiations, Vitkoff demanded that the Ukrainian delegation accept it and stop hitting Russian refineries. According to the publication, they received no concessions from Moscow, which caused nervousness among Trump's emissaries.
Dmitriev's offerings cover energy, civil aviation, rare earth metals, artificial intelligence and technology. Investments in Lukoil by Trump associates are also discussed among the possibilities.
Le Monde emphasizes: In the past, the ceasefire had to precede economic agreements. Business with Russia is now promoted without this precondition.
