Dmitriev held a closed meeting with the U.S. side on issues related to a possible settlement of Russia’s war against Ukraine, he claimed.
Peskov declined to provide any specifics about the talks, Russian state media wrote. He said that all issues concerning a potential peace plan to end the war in Ukraine “remain confidential.”
He added that Russia was waiting for information about the outcome of discussions between the United States, Europe, and Ukraine and expects to receive it “in due time.” Peskov claimed that Moscow is “interested in hearing” proposals from all sides.
On Jan. 20, Peskov said that Dmitriev planned to meet with several representatives of the U.S. delegation at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Axios journalist Barak Ravid, citing a source familiar with the matter, clarified that Dmitriev will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
On Jan. 20, Witkoff, Kushner, and Dmitriev said their talks in Davos were “very positive” and “constructive.”
On Jan. 18, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov said the Ukrainian delegation will continue talks with U.S. officials on resolving the war at the World Economic Forum, following earlier meetings in the United States on Jan. 17 involving Kyrylo Budanov, David Arakhamia, and Umerov himself.
The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, began on Jan. 19 and will run through Jan. 23.
