Putin envoy to meet with US officials in Davos – media

An Axios correspondent has claimed that Kirill Dmitriev will hold talks with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Switzerland

Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev will meet with the US delegation on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Reuters has reported, citing informed sources.

Axios correspondent Barak Ravid claimed in a post on X that Dmitriev will hold talks with US President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and the American leader’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in the Swiss city on Tuesday. The sides will discuss the US president’s plan to settle the Ukraine conflict, according to Ravid’s sources.

The Russian Embassy in Switzerland said last week that it has not received any official invitations addressed to Russian officials, business people or journalists to attend the event in Davos. The country’s representatives have been barred from WEF since the escalation between Moscow and Kiev in 2022.

Dmitriev has visited the US several times since Trump took office a year ago, where he has negotiated ways to restore bilateral ties and stop the fighting between Moscow and Kiev. His latest trip took place in December, when he held two days of talks with Witkoff and Kushner. Both sides described the talks as “constructive.”
