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.
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.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said last week that the Russian authorities are looking forward to another visit by Witkoff and Kushner to Moscow. The date has not yet been set, Peskov noted. Bloomberg claimed earlier, citing sources, that the trip could happen this month.
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Witkoff six times in 2025, according to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Kiev’s top negotiator Rustem Umerov said on Sunday that talks with the Americans on finding a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict will continue at the World Economic Forum (WEF), which is being held between Monday and Friday.
Trump, who addressed the WEF via video link in 2025, is expected to attend the high-profile gathering in person this time.
