More and more people understand Moscow\u2019s position, Kirill Dmitriev has said<\/p>\n
Kirill Dmitriev, a key special envoy to Russian President Vladimir Putin, described talks with US officials on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos as \u201cconstructive\u201d on Tuesday. He was speaking after the two sides met behind closed doors for more than two hours.
\nEarlier in the day, the Kremlin said Moscow intended to pass \u201ccertain information\u201d to the US regarding a possible settlement of the Ukraine conflict during the meeting.
\nDmitriev met US President Donald Trump\u2019s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, as well as Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to TASS.
\n\u201cThe meeting was constructive,\u201d Dmitriev told reporters after leaving the US venue at the forum, known as USA House. \u201cMore and more people recognize the\u00a0validity of the Russian position,\u201d he added, without elaborating.
\nWitkoff also described the talks as \u201cvery positive,\u201d but did not provide details.
\nMoscow and Washington have gradually intensified contacts since Trump returned to office, last year, with both sides publicly signalling interest in exploring a negotiated solution to the conflict in Ukraine. Under Trump\u2019s predecessor, Joe Biden, relations between the two countries had fallen to their lowest level in decades.<\/p>\n

Dmitriev visited the US several times last year, where he negotiated ways to restore bilateral ties and stop the fighting between Moscow and Kiev. During his most recent trip, in December, he held two days of talks with Witkoff and Kushner. Both sides described the talks as \u201cconstructive\u201d at the time as well.
\nKremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said last week that the Russian authorities are looking forward to another visit by Witkoff and Kushner to Moscow. Putin met with Witkoff six times in 2025, according to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
\nKiev\u2019s top negotiator Rustem Umerov also said over the weekend that talks with the Americans on finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict will continue at the WEF this week.
\nEarlier on Tuesday, Axios reported that a plan for Trump to sign the so-called \u201cprosperity plan\u201d for Kiev with Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky on the sidelines of the Davos forum has been scrapped. The Ukrainian leader announced the same day he would not attend the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
