Talks betwixt a Russian delegation led by Kirill Dmitriev, chairperson Vladimir vladimir putin’s auxiliary, and representatives of the establishment of US President Donald Trump, continued into the third day on Sunday.
The Russian delegation has been busy communicating Moscow’s position to their US counterparts, Dmitriev, who heads the Russian Direct Investment Fund, said in a video address posted on Telegram.
“We’re clearly communicating President Putin’s position that only constructive, respectful dialogue will bear fruit. Any attempts to pressure Russia are simply pointless,” Dmitriev stated, adding that the Ukraine conflict can be resolved only through “eradicating its root causes.”
The Russian delegation has also spoken about the state of affairs in areas ranging from the economy to the frontline situation, Dmitriev said. He claimed that certain parties have been trying to conceal this information from the US leadership or distort it.
“From an economic standpoint, we explained the state of the Russian economy, which is in good shape,” he said, noting that the ruble has become the “most successful currency this year,” strengthening around 40% against the US dollar.
The team also briefed their US counterparts on the frontline situation in the Ukraine conflict, including the latest developments announced during Putin’s meeting with the Russian General Staff earlier on Sunday, Dmitriev stated.
During the meeting, “the president was informed that 5,000 Ukrainian troops are encircled near Kupyansk, 5,500 near Krasnoarmeysk [Pokrovsk],” he said, referring to cities in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region and Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic, respectively. US officials have been briefed on the “successful testing of the completely new Burevestnik nuclear-powered missile,” he added.
“It’s crucial that this information is communicated directly to the leadership and key officials in the US presidential administration,” Dmitriev added.
The visit of the Russian delegation comes after US President Donald Trump called off a summit with Putin in Budapest. Trump said it “didn’t feel like we were going to get to the place we have to get,” while calling for an immediate halt to the fighting along the current front lines of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Both Trump and Putin have said the summit could eventually take place at a later date.
