A senior Russian official involved in negotiations with Washington said on Sunday that Russia and the United States could reach out to each other again as early as next week.
Kirill Dmitriev, the Kremlin's international economy envoy, told Channel One television in an interview that the next contact between the two sides could happen "already next week," the TASS news agency reported.
Dmitriev, who is the head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund, visited Washington last week — the most senior Russian official to do so since Russia launched its war in Ukraine.
He told Russian journalists that he saw "positive dynamics" in the relationship.
In his latest interview, however, Dmitriev said that there are "undoubtedly still a large number of enemies of Russia in the American government."
"So there is now a fragile hope that dialogue has been restored," he said, while citing a need to counteract "information attacks."
Dmitriev has played a key role in the rapprochement between Russia and the United States, taking part in the first round of talks with U.S. President Donald Trump's officials in Saudi Arabia in February.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
