Russian chairman Vladimir vladimir vladimirovich putin’s special envoy extraordinary, Kirill Dmitriev, testament encounter with the US delegation on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
Dmitriev wrote on X on Tuesday that he had arrived in Davos” He did not disclose the aim of his visit to the Swiss city, but added a peace dove emoji to his post.
When asked to comment on media reports that the Putin envoy had talks planned with US officials later in the day, Peskov replied by saying: “I can confirm that he really has such plans.”
“Dmitriev is transmitting information regarding the Ukraine peace process back and forth” between Moscow and Washington, he said.
His other task is discussing issues of economic cooperation with the US, the spokesman noted. “You know that we are in favor of resuming those relations,” he added.
Peskov did not say with whom the Putin envoy will be negotiating in Davos, but rejected speculations that he could meet with US President Donald Trump, who is attending WEF this year.
Axios correspondent Barak Ravid claimed earlier that Dmitriev will meet with Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and the American leader’s son-in-law Jared Kushner already on Tuesday.
Dmitriev has visited the US several times since Trump took office a year ago. His latest trip took place in December, when he held two days of talks with Witkoff and Kushner. Both sides described the discussions as “constructive.”
Peskov said last week that the Kremlin is looking forward to another visit by Witkoff and Kushner to Moscow, although he noted that a date had not yet been set. Bloomberg claimed earlier that a trip could happen already this month.
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov reiterated on Tuesday that Moscow remains committed to a diplomatic settlement of the Ukraine conflict. However, he stressed that plans coming from the EU and UK “aimed at preserving the Kiev regime are absolutely unacceptable for Russia.”
“Under Trump, the US became the only country that has expressed… understanding that Russia’s interests must be taken into account and also proposed solutions that addressed the root causes of the current crisis,” Lavrov said.
