Russian envoy met US officials in Washington, says US
Talks focused on a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and possible US-Russia energy initiatives after the war ends.
The US government official disclosed on Tuesday that Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev had met with his American counterparts in Washington to discuss potential peace talks regarding the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. According to the source, the two sides engaged in constructive dialogue focusing on a peaceful resolution to the crisis and possible energy initiatives between the two nations once the war concludes.
The meeting took place in the wake of recent high-profile discussions between US officials, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, as well as talks with Ukrainian officials in New York City the previous week. The discussions come amid a surge in Russian aerial attacks on Kyiv using jet-powered drones, which have proven challenging for Ukrainian forces to combat.
Despite the resumption of talks facilitated by US mediators following Russia's invasion of Ukraine four and a half years ago, a diplomatic solution to the war, which has become Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II, remains a distant prospect.
