Bloomberg: The $12 Trillion "Dmitriyev Plan" Aims to Bring Russia Back into the Dollar Settlement System, Possibly Involving China
Bloomberg cited an internal document reporting that the Kremlin has developed a plan for extensive economic cooperation with the Trump administration, including bringing Russia back to using the US dollar for settlements. The plan proposed that the US could resume its previous investments in Russia.
This document was obtained by Ukrainian intelligence agencies and is called the "Dmitriyev Package." It is said that the plan involves a cooperation amount of $12 trillion. The document shows that Russia is willing to discuss economic cooperation with the US while engaging in peace negotiations on the Ukraine issue. The main contents are as follows:
-- Long-term aviation modernization contracts, with the US participating in Russian aircraft manufacturing;
-- Oil and gas joint projects, and compensating the US for its previous investments;
-- American companies will enjoy preferential treatment in the Russian market;
-- Cooperation in nuclear energy and artificial intelligence;
-- Returning to the dollar settlement system, including energy transactions;
-- Cooperation in raw materials such as lithium, copper, nickel, and platinum;
-- Promoting fossil fuels, replacing low-carbon technologies.
The report states that Russia had previously tried to turn to China and move away from the dollar, and returning to the dollar would undermine this strategy and strengthen the US position in the global settlement system.
