Russia foresees significant opportunities for collaboration with the United States, particularly in the space sector. President Vladimir Putin's international cooperation envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, mentioned that talks with Elon Musk about potential Mars missions are on the agenda. Dmitriev highlighted that Russia's aim is to enhance its space agency Roscosmos and state nuclear corporation Rosatom through partnerships, including with SpaceX. Speaking at a business forum in Moscow, he praised Musk for pushing the boundaries of human achievement. Additionally, Dmitriev noted ongoing communication with Roscosmos, Russian business entities, and the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia.
