Special Representative of the US President Stiv Vitkoff conducted a meeting in Washington with the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kiril Dmitriev, who left the American capital.
RBC-Ukraine reports this, citing Reuters.
As two American officials familiar with the food supply told the visiting news agency, the Russian dictator Volodymyr Putin has established a food investment deal between Washington and US officials.
Such pressure arose mid-day as US President Donald Trump began the Russian-Ukrainian war and pressure on Moscow and Kiev.
What Dmitriev himself discussed with US officials was unclear, says Reuters.
At the same time, visitors are beginning to appreciate that Putin’s envoy is visiting after Trump expressed his disappointment with the pace of negotiations about the outbreak of fire between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Zokrema, this week the American leader declared that he had “disengaged” with the head of the Kremlin, and ruined the situation about the possibility of imposing sanctions on those who buy Russian nafta.
Trump's representative Vitkoff, who agreed with the contacts of the US presidential administration with the Kremlin, asked Dmitriev to the United States last year, American officials told Reuters.
Varto also gained respect for becoming the first official visit to the United States by a high-ranking official of the Russian Federation after the large-scale invasion of Ukraine.
We also remember that Dmitriev was previously included in the warehouse of the Russian delegation for negotiations with the United States in Riyadh on December 18, 2025. On the American side there were US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Secretary Mike Waltz, and Special Envoy of the US President for Nutrition Close Stiv Vitkoff.
It also became known earlier that the White House had ordered the US Department of State to issue Dmitryev a short-term license to travel to the country, which was necessary for the necessary period of time, in anticipation of the new invasion of American sanctions. Thus, interim approaches from the US side were slowed down before Dmitryev.

Earlier, Dmitriev confirmed that the two countries had already started talking about projects in Russia, such as the development of rare earth metals.
