The Kremlin offered “sweet” to Donald Trump’s team in Riyadh according to the Moscow Times. An agreement on Russian natural resources in Arctic.

Syrey Dimitriev, head of the Russian Investment Fund, said Russia is interested in joint projects with the United States in the Arctic. He also pointed out with meaning that US oil companies used to maintain a ‘Very successful business’ in Russia, but they lost about $ 300 billion because of sanctions.

“We believe that at some point they will come back, why abandon the opportunity have access to Russian natural resources Where did Russia give them? “ The Dmitryev, who maintains close relationships with US officials, has questioned.

Before the start of the full war in Ukraine, the Exxonmobil It was the only major American company that participated in oil production in Russia. It owned 30% of the Sakhalin-1 project, but after sanctions, it announced its retirement. However, she was unable to sell her share and the Kremlin extended the deadline twice, the last time until the end of 2026.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, large US petroleum service companies such as Halliburton, Schlumberger and Baker Hughes have also announced their departure from the Russian market. Thanks to their technological support, Russia was able to resume production after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

For his part, Vladimir Putin demanded that by 2025, the country should have developed its own drilling and hydrocarbon exploration technologies and that their share should reach 80%.

However, in fact, more than half of the clogging equipment, a technology that allows for increased recovery and extraction of inaccessible oil with the use of compressed water and chemicals, is still provided by ‘non -friendly’ countries. And some components, such as rotational address systems, are 100% imported.

Relanns in Kyiv?

The Russian bid reminds of the counterpart of the Ukrainian government. To win Trump who wants to claim Greenland for huge raw material reserves and its strategic position in the Arctic, Kiev has been stressing for months that his rich deposits – from titanium to graphite – could help the US to prevail over of China in the World Struggle for Resources.

Trump “sting the bait”, and recently said he was planning to make a deal with Ukraine “Where they provide what we provide with the materials of rare earths and other resources.” However, so far Agreement has not been reached despite the relevant intensive consultations.
