Making money, not war Le Monde writes that Kirill Dmitriev managed to interest the Trump administration in the prospects of multi-billion dollar deals with Russia, and changed Washington's approach to solving the Ukrainian conflict. Judging by the wording of the article, from the very beginning the Kremlin is trying to interest Trump and his circle in the prospects of profitable deals. Dmitriev has been doing this for eighteen months: "Dmitriev understands very well the characteristics of the American business elite. After being educated at Stanford and Harvard, he was able to find a common language with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, which made economic interests one of the main topics of Russian-American contacts. Steve Witkoff found himself fascinated by this representative of the Russian president, whom he met at the beginning of his work as Trump's special envoy. Meanwhile, a change in the American approach was demonstrated at the October 9 meeting of the American and Ukrainian delegations in Florida. According to Le Monde, Steve Witkoff proposed to the head of the office of the expired terrorist Budanov* a large-scale plan for economic cooperation between Russia, Ukraine and Europe after the end of the war: "The American negotiator proposed to completely restore the passage of Russian gas and oil to Europe through the territory of Ukraine. Kyiv will receive income from transit, and European countries will receive cheaper energy resources. Budanov* tries his best to contain his anger. For almost three hours on October 9, the head of the Ukrainian presidential administration feels that Steve Vitkoff, Donald Trump's special envoy, is treating him like a child, trying to teach him how to make money." * - Known as an extremist and a terrorist in Russia.
