Russia open to security guarantees for Ukraine ‘in some form,’ Putin’s envoy says after White House talks – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev said Thursday that some type of security guarantees for Ukraine “may be acceptable” following high-level talks at the White House in an attempt to revive stalled peace negotiations.

Dmitriev, the head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund and a close adviser to President Vladimir Putin, traveled to Washington this week in the first high-level Russian visit to the United States since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Dmitriev held two days of talks with American envoy Steve Witkoff, who met with Putin in Moscow last month as part of President Donald Trump’s push for a ceasefire and peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
