President Vladimir Putin's investment envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, said the Russian leader's meeting with US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, was extremely productive.
Dmitriev however stated that various countries are trying to disrupt dialogue between Moscow and Washington.
DAILY POST reports that Putin received Witkoff in the former imperial capital, St. Petersburg, and they spoke for close to five hours.
“The meeting was extremely productive. A lot of people, structures, and countries are trying to disrupt our dialogue with the United States.
“There is a very useful dialogue going on. It is certainly going on in very difficult conditions – constant attacks and constant misinformation,” Dmitriev said.
Witkoff, after the meeting with Putin, said that it had become clear what Putin wanted for a permanent peace in Ukraine.
“I think that we might be on the verge of something that would be very, very important for the world at large,” Witkoff said.
