Thursday, April 3, 2025 - Russian President, Vladimir Putin’s investment envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, has said unidentified forces were trying to sow tension between Russia and the United States.
Dmitriev, who said this on Telegram on Thursday, claimed
that the forces are trying to disrupt any steps towards dialogue, sparing
neither money nor resources for the course.
He said Putin had sent him to Washington this week to meet
members of the Trump administration.
According to him, opponents of the rapprochement were afraid
that Russia and the United States would find common ground, begin to understand
each other better and build cooperation both in international affairs and in
the economy.
“Today, numerous forces interested in maintaining tension
stand in the way of restoring constructive cooperation… These forces are
deliberately distorting Russia’s position.
“Yes, restoring dialogue is a difficult and gradual process.
But each meeting, each frank conversation allows us to move forward,” he said.
Dmitriev further stated that a real understanding of the
Russian position opens up new opportunities for constructive cooperation,
including in the investment and economic sphere.
Trump, who said he wants to be remembered as a peacemaker,
has repeatedly said he wants the three-year war in Ukraine to end and has
warned of the risks of it escalating into World War Three between the United
States and Russia.
Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, who has taken the lead on the
administration’s contacts with the Kremlin, invited Dmitriev to the United
States last week.
