In a recent development, Russia has proposed to the United States the use of its frozen assets to purchase Boeing aircraft, contingent upon the establishment of a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
According to Bloomberg, an anonymous source from Moscow indicated that while this proposal is not a formal condition for ending hostilities, it could serve as a diplomatic avenue for de-escalation and renewed engagement between the two nations.
The specifics of the negotiation process remain limited. When approached for comments, National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes stated, “The U.S. will not discuss any economic commitments until a ceasefire has been reached.” Boeing declined to comment on the matter, and the Kremlin has not provided an immediate response to inquiries.
This proposal emerges amidst ongoing discussions and efforts to find a resolution to the conflict, highlighting the complexities of international diplomacy and economic considerations in wartime scenarios.
