Bloomberg revealed that Russia has prepared an internal document proposing a significant economic partnership with the United States, in the event of a peace agreement regarding Ukraine.
The document, circulated by senior Russian officials this year, included seven key areas that Moscow sees as potentially aligning with Washington's interests, including investments in natural gas, offshore oil, and vital raw materials, as well as opportunities for American companies.
Among the most notable proposals is Russia's return to a dollar settlement system in transactions, which is a significant shift from Moscow's previous policies that aimed to reduce reliance on the U.S. financial system and deepen partnerships with China.
The document also includes joint projects in aviation and nuclear energy, facilities for American companies to return to the Russian market, in addition to enhancing cooperation in the exploitation of traditional natural resources and vital raw materials.
Western analysts believe that these proposals represent a radical step for Moscow, but they face obstacles due to its strategic interests with Beijing, making it unlikely to be fully implemented without a broad agreement involving international parties.
The Kremlin has not yet issued any official comment on the content of the document or whether these proposals have been presented to the American side.
