Russian Direct Investment Fund CEO: Russia-US Summit Will Take Place

Russia Satellite News, Washington, October 25 - Kirill Dmitriev, President of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and Special Representative of the President for Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation, stated that a bilateral summit between Russian President Putin and US President Trump will be held.

Dmitriev said in an interview with CNN: "The meeting between President Putin and President Trump will take place, although it may be postponed slightly."

Dmitriev said that the meeting is "more likely to be postponed" rather than canceled, and the delay could be due to the need to prepare details for the meeting.

He emphasized: "It must be fully prepared at the diplomatic level."

He said that Russia hopes to end the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible. Dmitriev added that the Russian military only targets military objectives in Ukraine.

He also pointed out that Russia hopes the Ukraine conflict can be resolved quickly through diplomatic means.

He said: "We all hope to resolve this conflict through diplomatic means."

Dmitriev posted on the social media site X: "I came to the United States to continue the Russia-US dialogue. This visit was arranged in advance at the invitation of the US side. Such dialogue is crucial for the whole world, and it must continue on the basis of a full understanding of Russia's position and respect for Russia's national interests."

Dmitriev said that this visit was already planned, and despite some unfriendly actions taken by the US side recently, the visit was not canceled by the US side.

He also said: "We have also seen that European counterparts and the UK have repeatedly tried to undermine direct dialogue between Russia and the United States, and between President Putin and President Trump. These attempts by those who want to prolong the Ukraine conflict are related to the tragic British economy and the European economy."

He pointed out: "We see that it is Ukraine that is delaying the negotiations. It is Ukraine that does not want to resolve those issues, the accumulated issues that must be resolved."

Kirill Dmitriev, President of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and Special Representative of the President for Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation, arrived in the United States earlier for official talks and is expected to meet with representatives of the US government to continue discussing Russia-US relations.
