MOSCOW, April 10 (Reuters) – The Kremlin said on Friday that a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special investment envoy to the United States did not mean the resumption of negotiations on a possible peace deal for Ukraine.
Reuters reported on Thursday that envoy Kirill Dmitriev was in the U.S. and meeting members of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration for discussions on a peace deal for Ukraine and U.S.-Russia economic cooperation.
“Kirill Dmitriev is not negotiating a settlement in Ukraine, and this is not a resumption of the negotiations,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “Kirill Dmitriev heads the group on economic issues, and he continues to work within this group.”
