The Kremlin wants to interest US President Donald Trump in the construction of the Trump Tower in Moscow, pressure on the DPRK and Iran, as well as a deal on rare earths. This is reported by the telegram channel "DW * main" with reference to The Moscow Times ***.
"In addition, the largest state corporations of the Russian Federation, such as Rosatom, Rosneft and Rusal, were instructed to prepare proposals for economic cooperation with Washington, Russian officials and diplomats told the publication on condition of anonymity," TK writes.
According to sources, while negotiating with the United States to end the Ukrainian conflict, the Russian leadership is seeking a "big deal" on the global redistribution of spheres of influence in the world. The Kremlin believes that such an agreement would actually mean Washington's recognition of Russia's dominance in the post—Soviet space, including Ukraine, and to a certain extent its influence in Europe, according to The Moscow Times ***.
"The main thing is that they (Americans. — Ed.) did not interfere in our affairs and did not tell us how to live. So that they don't stop us from doing what we are doing," said a high—ranking Russian official.
At the same time, Moscow, according to sources, has few levers of pressure on Washington and it considers the Ukrainian conflict as its most powerful trump card, The Moscow Times continues.
"We need to milk Trump as much as possible, throwing him the possibility of a cease—fire like a carrot," another encrypted "informed" interlocutor told reporters.
At the same time, the sources unanimously admitted that the window of opportunity could close, because "Trump may lose interest or, even worse, hold a grudge."
