https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/jun/6/russian-envoy-teases-deal-us-russia-alaska-underwater-tunnel/Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy said the country and the U.S. will sign an agreement to design an underwater tunnel connecting Russia’s Chukotka region to Alaska across the Bering Strait.
Kirill Dmitriev, who is also head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, made the announcement Thursday at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
“As regards, the tunnel, we have a piece of news for tomorrow that we will continue tunnel engineering. The tunnel will take place,” he told Russian TV channel Zvezda, according to a translation by state-owned news agency TASS.
He added that this will be one of the major infrastructure projects between Russia and the U.S.
Mr. Dmitriev said he spoke by phone with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner to discuss economic cooperation between Moscow and Washington. U.S. officials have not publicly confirmed the call.
“The most important topic is economic cooperation, as we see many joint economic initiatives that we can implement, and we are actively preparing them,” Mr. Dmitriev said.
“Accordingly, we are preparing for joint investment with the U.S. in various projects that are beneficial for both Russia and the U.S., including in Russia,” he added.
Mr. Dmitriev introduced the “Putin-Trump Tunnel” last October to connect Russia and Alaska through a 70-mile rail-and-cargo link across the Bering Strait.
