Zelenskyy Claims Russia Pitched $12 Trillion Economic Deal to US, Quadruple Its GDP

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims Russia offered the US a $12 trillion economic cooperation package, citing Ukrainian intelligence.
  • The offer, dubbed the “Dmitriev package” after Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev, is more than quadruple Russia’s entire GDP.
  • Zelenskyy suggests this package might explain Washington's leaning towards Moscow in peace deal discussions.
  • The proposal was reportedly presented during meetings with US officials on American soil last year.
  • The package includes rolling back sanctions on Russia and launching long-term economic partnership initiatives, despite Kyiv's opposition.
