Russian special envoy Dmitriev in US, meeting Trump administration members, sources say

On Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Kirill Dmitriev's visit to the United States does not signal a resumption of Ukraine peace negotiations, rejecting implications that formal talks have restarted.
Reuters reported Thursday that Dmitriev met with members of President Donald Trump's administration to discuss economic cooperation and a potential peace deal, prompting the Kremlin's clarification.
Peskov clarified, "Kirill Dmitriev is not negotiating a settlement in Ukraine, and this is not a resumption of the negotiations," emphasizing the envoy remains focused on economic issues.
These comments coincided with President Putin's announcement of a 32-hour ceasefire for Orthodox Easter, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy agreed to observe as a humanitarian measure.
The Kremlin's public disavowal lowers immediate expectations for formal diplomatic breakthroughs, shifting how Kyiv and international mediators prioritize economic engagement versus political channels in ongoing strategies.
