Moscow Hints at Potential US-Russia Tunnel Deal (kyivpost.com)

• Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev hinted at a US-Russia tunnel agreement across the Bering Strait.
• Costs estimated at $65 billion+; Dmitriev claims Boring Company tech could reduce to under $8 billion.
• Practical utility is questionable due to remote locations and existing shipping routes.

"Kirill Dmitriev, a special envoy for President Putin, indicated that the US and Russia could sign an agreement on Friday to design a tunnel across the Bering Strait. The proposed tunnel would connect Russia's Chukotka peninsula to Alaska. Dmitriev estimated costs at $65 billion or more but argued that Elon Musk's Boring Company technology could reduce it to under $8 billion. The practical value of the tunnel remains unclear, as both endpoints are remote and existing shipping routes handle trade efficiently."
