Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev held “constructive” talks with US officials on efforts to end the war in Ukraine, including possible US-Russia energy initiatives in the post-war period, Reuers reports, citing a US official.
The report said Dmitriev, who also heads Russia’s sovereign wealth fund RDIF, visited Washington on September 28 following a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in New York last week.
During their meeting, Zelenskyy stated that they had discussed a potential ceasefire covering energy-related targets.
Earlier this month, Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Putin in Moscow.
Dmitriev was in Washington “to continue constructive discussions on a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and possible U.S.-Russia energy initiatives after the war ends,” the US official noted.
