Kirill Dmitriev told a Moscow energy forum on Friday that Russia and the US are discussing joint data centre projects, including ones using Russian nuclear plants. A widely shared post on X described the talks as being about data centres in the US, and his published words don't say that. Updated 18 October 2026: We revised this story to put Dmitriev's published words and the post's wording side by side, with sources, instead of giving it a rating.
