Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev will hold talks with U.S. delegates in Davos on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) this week, Reuters reported on Jan. 19, citing two undisclosed sources, APA reports.
Dmitriev, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and the Kremlin's economic negotiator, has played a key role in Moscow's outreach to Washington amid U.S. efforts to broker peace in Ukraine.
According to Axios reporter Barak Ravid, the Russian official will meet Trump's envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, on Jan. 20 to discuss the Washington-backed peace plan.
The U.S. has not publicly commented on any meetings between Dmitriev and U.S. officials.
The WEF, taking place from Jan. 19 to 23, is an annual economic summit that brings together officials, experts, and business leaders from around the world. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, U.S. President Donald Trump, and over 60 other heads of state and government are expected to attend this year.
The forum will also be the venue of ongoing talks between Kyiv and Washington on post-war security guarantees and recovery efforts. Top Ukrainian security official Rustem Umerov said that the two parties would follow up on the discussions held over the last weekend in the U.S.
