US EditionA Look at Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian Envoy Who Helped Craft the New Ukraine Peace Proposal
Kirill Dmitriev, sanctioned Russian fund head and trusted Putin ally, acts as a back-channel envoy in U.S. talks to draft a Ukraine peace plan, meeting officials in multiple countries.
- On April 11, Kirill Dmitriev, Kremlin official and head of RDIF, met U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff in Saint Petersburg, Russia, as he emerges in Ukraine peace talks.
- Named special presidential envoy in February 2025, Kirill Dmitriev leads the Russian Direct Investment Fund and has personal ties to Vladimir Putin, Russian President's inner circle.

- With degrees from Stanford University and Harvard Business School, Dmitriev first met Russian President Vladimir Putin around 2000 and negotiated ties with Saudi Arabia and the UAE despite U.S. sanctions.
