Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s special envoy Kirill Dmitriev is in Florida for another meeting with U.S. officials, CNN reported on March 11, citing sources.

The report said the meetings are focused on economic cooperation between Russia and the United States.

On Feb. 19, Dmitriev said Russia had offered Washington investment projects worth more than $14 trillion in exchange for lifting sanctions. He wrote in a Twitter post that the United States would eventually lift sanctions against Russia.

“The U.S. will eventually lift sanctions because sanctions on Russia cost U.S. businesses $300+ billion,” he wrote, without citing a source for the figure.

On March 10, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United States postponed the next trilateral Ukraine–U.S.–Russia meeting until the following week.
