What is the difference between Russia and the US?

Just this week, Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's "economic envoy" who also serves as CEO of Russia’s Direct Investment Fund, pitches joint US-Russia projects of 14 trillion USD, contingent on a peace agreement in Ukraine and the lifting of Western sanctions.

Also this week we heard that Gentry Beach, a US investor with close ties to the Trump family, signed an agreement with Russia’s energy giant Novatek already last autumn to develop natural gas in Alaska amid Western sanctions against Russia.

Trump's negotiators for peace in Ukraine are Steven Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, two real estate developers and investor. What do they negotiate?

If such polls are useful at all then only to distract from reality. That helps autocratic regimes as they make autocratic regimes like Russia and China look as the lesser evil. It's not true, though.
