Russia offered the US a $12 trillion economic cooperation package, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday.
The offer, dubbed the “Dmitriev package” after Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev, who also runs Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, was identified by Ukrainian intelligence, Zelensky told journalists during a closed-door briefing.
“Intelligence showed me the so-called ‘Dmitriev package’ that he presented in the US – it amounts to around $12 trillion,” the Ukrainian president said.
“It is supposedly a package of economic cooperation between America and Russia,” he added. “So we are hearing about the possibility of such or similar bilateral documents [to be signed] between America and Russia.”
The development points to a renewed push by Moscow to court US President Donald Trump, as Ukraine and Russia continue to vie for Washington’s support while the US presses for a diplomatic settlement.
