Putin's Investment Envoy Dmitriev Meets US Treasury, Energy Officials in Washington

Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's special representative for investment and CEO of RDIF, held meetings in Washington with US Department of Finance and Energy officials, following earlier talks in New York with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. This marks a rare, high-level direct engagement between Russian and US officials amid ongoing sanctions, suggesting potential back-channel negotiations on economic or energy issues. The scope and outcomes remain unconfirmed, but the meetings signal a possible thaw in US-Russia economic diplomacy.
