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.
Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev met with US officials in Washington on Monday to discuss future US-Russia energy projects following Moscow's war against Ukraine, according to a US government official speaking to AFP. The discussions focused on achieving a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and potential US-Russia energy initiatives once the war ends.
The visit comes after special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with President Putin in Moscow and discussed the situation with Ukrainian officials in New York last week. The latest talks occur amid intensified Russian strikes on Kyiv using jet-powered drones, which Ukrainian forces find difficult to intercept. Although Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly four and a half years ago, a diplomatic settlement to Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II remains out of reach despite ongoing talks with US mediators.
