The Kremlin is orchestrating a 2027 economic forum with the AfD to renew Russian gas deals with Germany amid ongoing war, involving key figures linked to Russian intelligence and US business interests.
The Kremlin, under Kirill Dmitrijew, is organizing an economic forum for early 2027 using the compliant AfD party to revive old deals, primarily around Russian gas supplies to Germany. Markus Frohnmaier, described by Russian media as an 'absolutely controlled deputy,' is prominently involved. Frohnmaier gave an interview to Russian outlet Iswestija, linked through his wife. Dmitrijew heads the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), alleged to be a criminal money laundering network tied to Russian intelligence, with partners including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and China. Robert Agee of the US-Russia Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) endorsed the 2027 forum agenda and revealed a 'White Paper' with sanctions lifting proposals prepared alongside the Russian Finance Ministry in 2025. The AmCham is overseen by Dmitrijew since early 2025, coinciding with Putin's statements about controlled negotiations with foreign companies and warning about businesses leaving Russia. Internal Gazprom reports reveal systematic soft-power influence via media like Iswestija, coordinated by Alexej Miller. AfD leaders Weidel and Chrupalla plan a 2027 'Special Gas Operation' in Moscow with Dmitrijew and US business figures Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to negotiate Russian gas deliveries aiming to reinstate Germany's dependency on Russian gas during Russia's war on Ukraine and Europe. The Kremlin is fostering a covert network of gas lobbyists to serve Moscow’s economic interests, rewarding loyal collaborators.
Confidence: High
The signal reveals a deliberate Kremlin-backed effort to undermine Western sanctions and reassert economic influence over Germany via a proxy political party (AfD) and covert lobbying networks linked to Russian intelligence and corrupt financial mechanisms. This constitutes hostile hybrid warfare combining political manipulation, economic coercion, and influence operations.
