The $12 trillion "deal" Russia pitched to Witkoff is just a carrot which only serves to prevent the US from helping Ukraine. It will never materialize for many reasons but most due to the fact that Russia is a small economy, where this amount would exceed its GDP by 5 to 6 times.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: We don't have to choose whether we attack a military target or an energy target. He sells this energy. He sells oil. So is it energy or is it a military target? Honestly, it's the same. He sells oil, takes money, invests in weapons. He kills Ukrainians with these weapons.
