Kirill Dmitriev, the special envoy of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has arrived in the United States for meetings with officials from the Trump administration, including special envoy Steve Witkoff. The purpose of the visit is to continue discussions regarding the relations between the US and Russia, according to sources cited by CNN. Dmitriev is set to meet with Witkoff in Miami.
This visit takes place in a tense context, after American President Donald Trump imposed sanctions against two major Russian oil companies to pressure Putin to stop the war in Ukraine. Additionally, Trump had a phone conversation with Putin last week and expressed the intention to meet face to face, but American officials later announced that the meeting is postponed.
