Washington Ukraine Peace Talks
Russian Envoy Holds Washington Talks With US Officials on Ukraine War
Anonymous
Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev held what a U.S. official described as constructive talks in Washington with U.S. officials about a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine and possible U.S.-Russia energy initiatives after the war. The visit followed President Donald Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in New York, where they discussed a possible ceasefire covering energy targets. The discussions took place as Russia continued attacks across Ukraine, including strikes that both sides said damaged energy infrastructure and civilian sites; the claims about specific targets could not be independently verified. Separately, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow and Washington had agreed to hold talks on outstanding bilateral issues, with a date and location still to be arranged.
