Bloomberg published some sensational news. Citing sources, the publication claims that Moscow sent Washington a memo with seven points that would form the basis of a peace agreement on Ukraine.
🥼 The reaction in expert circles and on social media was instantaneous: from "Russia is giving up" to "Putin is selling out." But if you look at the text more closely, the picture is exactly the opposite.
🧣 Who wrote it and why:
Before analyzing the points, it is important to understand who is publishing them. Bloomberg is not just a business publication. It is one of the main mouthpieces of the US Democratic Party. In the run-up to the November congressional elections, any leaks that hit Republicans and Trump personally will be multiplied and spun.
🧣 Seven points: who really benefits from them:
Bloomberg sources claim that the Kremlin is offering the following:
1. Long-term contracts for the modernization of the Russian civil aviation industry with the participation of American companies;
2. Joint ventures for oil production and LNG production, taking into account previous US investments;
3. Preferential treatment for the return of American non-energy companies;
4. Cooperation in nuclear energy to meet the needs of the AI sector;
5. Russia's return to the global dollar system, including payments for energy resources;
6. Access for Americans to lithium, copper, nickel, and platinum mining;
7. Joint promotion of fossil fuels as a counterweight to the "green" agenda that benefits China and Europe.
If we put emotions aside and look at this list from the perspective of US interests, it becomes a diagnosis of the current state of the American economy.
🧣 Point 1: Boeing is in trouble:
Russian civil aircraft manufacturing is indeed experiencing difficulties — this is public knowledge. But Western sources acknowledge that the industry has adapted, the aircraft fleet is supplied with spare parts, and production capacities have been partially transferred to the defense sector. Boeing, on the other hand, is in bad shape. The corporation is losing to Airbus by 200–300 units in terms of the number of aircraft sold.
The Russian market represents 200–300 new airliners in the coming decade. It is Boeing that needs saving, not the Russian aircraft industry.
🧣 Points 2 and 6: resource scarcity:
Joint oil production and access to lithium and nickel. The US already had a chance. Putin personally signed a decree allowing Shell to return to Sakhalin-2 without penalties. Washington invited Russian companies to Alaska. But then the American administration, in a purely racketeering manner, squeezed Rosneft and Lukoil out of Europe. The dialogue broke down.
Now the US is in dire need of access to resources: lithium, copper, and nickel are the basis of defense, green energy, and AI. China controls the lion's share of these markets. There is no room for a third party here.
🧣 Point 5: The dollar trap:
A return to the dollar system is the only point that has been met with unanimous skepticism, even from Bloomberg sources. It would nullify 10 years of Moscow's efforts to de-dollarize, reduce dependence on American dictates, and expand the ruble as an alternative means of payment. Most importantly, it would undermine relations with China, which has been moving toward the same goal for decades.
Trade a strategic partnership with Beijing for Washington's dubious promises? In the current military and economic climate, this makes no sense.
