Russia denies the claim that a $12 trillion project is exchanged for lifting sanctions, stating that the potential scale of cooperation reaches $14 trillion.

Special Representative of the Russian President: "The Economist" Report on "12 Trillion Dollar Project in Exchange for Lifting Sanctions" is False

Kirill Dmitriev, special representative of the Russian President for foreign investment and economic cooperation and CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), stated that the claim about "Russia offering 12 trillion dollar projects to the United States in exchange for lifting sanctions" is false; lifting sanctions would be in the interest of the United States itself, while the potential scale of Russian-American project combinations could reach 14 trillion dollars.

Dmitriev wrote on his Telegram channel: "The Economist published a false leak: According to reports, Russia will offer 12 trillion dollar projects to the United States in exchange for lifting sanctions. This is not true."

He explained that the lifting of sanctions would ultimately depend on the interests of the United States itself: the exit of U.S. companies from the Russian market has already caused losses exceeding 300 billion dollars.

Additionally, Dmitriev posted on the social media platform X that the potential scale of Russian-American project combinations could reach 14 trillion dollars.
