Visit by Putin envoy to Washington ‘possible’ – Kremlin
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s economic envoy, Kirill Dmitriev,
could visit Washington in the near future, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry
Peskov has confirmed.
- It was earlier reported in the Western media that Dmitriev, who heads up Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, could travel to the US later this week for talks with President Donald Trump’s negotiator for settling the Ukraine conflict, Steve Witkoff.
- The meeting will reportedly aim to further “strengthen relations between the two countries as they seek to end the war in Ukraine.”
- Asked to confirm the reports, Peskov said on Wednesday that “such a visit is possible,” without offering further details or dates.
- He added that Moscow continues to communicate with Washington “through various channels” on both diplomatic issues and the Ukraine conflict.
Dmitriev earlier responded to the reports on his travel plans with a post on X, writing “maybe,” and adding: “What if improved relations are exactly what the world needs for lasting global security and peace?”
The official took part in last month’s Russian-US talks in Saudi Arabia, where both sides agreed to begin normalizing relations.
Since then, Moscow and Washington have worked on a potential diplomatic settlement of the Ukraine conflict, reaching limited progress with a partial ceasefire agreement. Russia, however, has accused Ukraine of violating the truce almost immediately, claiming that multiple facilities covered by the agreement were attacked by Ukrainian drones over the past two weeks.
