Russia appeared to confirm on Feb. 13 the existence of a sweeping U.S.-Russia economic proposal known in Kyiv as the “Dmitriev package,” days after President Volodymyr Zelensky first disclosed it publicly.
The Ukrainian president said on Feb. 6 that intelligence had briefed him on what he described as a roughly $12 trillion framework for large-scale economic cooperation between Moscow and Washington.
“Intelligence showed me the so-called ‘Dmitriev package’ that he presented in the U.S. — it amounts to around $12 trillion,” Zelensky told reporters in Kyiv.
The reference is to Kirill Dmitriev, an envoy who heads Russia’s sovereign wealth fund and has remained engaged with top U.S. officials, including Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
The White House twice declined to confirm the existence of such proposals in comments to the Kyiv Independent — first after Zelensky’s disclosure and again following a subsequent Bloomberg reporting.
