US and Russia linked at the top of the world.

From June 3 to 6, Russia is holding the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that hey describe as a ‘key platform for dialogue between governments, business and the expert community’.

Even though smoke billows can be seen at a distance where Ukraine sent kamikaze drones against Oil facilities, the forum is ongoing – and reportedly will host an agreement between the US and Russia on a project that is bound to literally unite the two countries.

UPDATE: The signing will NOT be between Russia and the US, but with the company designing the tunnel.

Kommersant reported (translated from the Russian):

“The tunnel through the Bering Strait, which will connect Russia and Alaska, will be built, and an agreement to continue the design will be signed on June 5 at SPIEF. This was stated by the special representative of the [Russian] president, the head of the RDIF Kirill Dmitriev.

‘As for the tunnel. We will have news tomorrow: we are signing an agreement that we will continue the design of the tunnel. There will be a tunnel’, said Mr. Dmitriev (quoted on the Zvezda TV channel). According to him, this ‘will be one of the big infrastructure projects between our countries’.”

Athens News reported:

“We are talking about a tunnel under Bering Strait – between Russian Chukotka and American Alaska. The idea is old: such a transition was first discussed seriously at the end of the 19th century. After the breakup [of the] USSR negotiations between Russia And USA periodically revived, but after 2014, annexation Crimea and a sharp collapse in relations, the project actually went into political permafrost.

Now it was brought into the world again – already against the backdrop of new contacts between Moscow And Washington after returning Donald Trump to power. For the Kremlin, this is a convenient picture: not sanctions, not Ukraine, not isolation, but a supposedly big infrastructure deal with America.”

UPDATE:

Tweet from Kirill Dmitriev addressing a misunderstanding about a signing event, clarifying it involves an engineering company rather than American officials.
