The Russian representative met with officials from the U.S. Treasury and Department of Energy.
The representative of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Kirill Dmitriev, held talks in Washington with U.S. officials about ending Russia’s war against Ukraine. The parties also discussed possible U.S.-Russian energy initiatives after hostilities end. Reuters reported this.
A U.S. official called the discussions “constructive.” Among the topics were possible U.S.-Russian energy initiatives after the war ends. Dmitriev, who also heads the Russian Direct Investment Fund, was in Washington on Monday.
His visit came after a meeting last week in New York between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. After the talks, Zelensky said they discussed a possible cease-fire for energy facilities. Earlier this month, Trump associates Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Putin in Moscow.
A U.S. official said Dmitriev came to Washington to continue talks on a peaceful resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Another topic was possible U.S.-Russian energy initiatives after the war ends.
While in Washington, Dmitriev also met with representatives of the U.S. Treasury Department and the Department of Energy. Reuters cited sources familiar with the trip’s arrangements for these meetings.
Recall that Kirill Dmitriev’s talks in the U.S. continue a series of contacts between Washington and Moscow about a possible end to the war. 5 September, Vladimir Putin spoke for more than three hours at the Kremlin with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The meeting discussed economic issues in detail and potential major Russian-American projects. Kirill Dmitriev and Ushakov were present at the talks, and Dmitriev called the Americans’ visit “an important peace-making” effort.
In addition, the Office of the President of Ukraine denied reports of a trilateral meeting in New York between Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia. Presidential adviser Dmytro Lytvyn 24 September told reporters that the Ukrainian delegation was already returning home. Earlier reports said the meeting might have included Kyrylo Budanov, Rustem Umerov, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Kirill Dmitriev. The parties were expected to focus on a possible energy truce and mechanisms to monitor compliance.
