Why It Matters
Russia and the United States are discussing the possibilities of economic cooperation against the backdrop of current sanctions.
The diesel deal with the United States means for Russia a way out of sanctions isolation. Americanist, head of Dubravsky Consulting and author of the Campaign Insider Telegram channel Pavel Dubravsky spoke about this in a commentary to Lenta.ru.
According to the political scientist, the lifting of the absolute majority of anti-Russian sanctions is unlikely to be expected in the near future. However, a very important step in this direction has already been taken, he added.
Finally, the agreements between Russia and the United States open up opportunities for the development of economic relations between the two countries. “In the next two years, if the United States views Russia not from the perspective of the Ukrainian conflict, but much more broadly, it will have the opportunity to expand trade ties with our country, which were actually insignificant before,” the expert concluded.
