Details : Upon arriving in Washington for talks with US officials, Dmitriev said that the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Kremlin leader Putin had not been cancelled, as the US president had written, and that they would likely meet later.

He also said that Russia, the US and Ukraine were "close to a diplomatic solution" that would end the Russian-Ukrainian war.

Quote: "I believe Russia and the US and Ukraine are actually quite close to a diplomatic solution."

Details: He called President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's statement that the negotiations could concern the front line a "big move".

Quote: "It's a big move by President Zelenskyy to already acknowledge that it's about battle lines. You know, his previous position was that Russia should leave completely – so actually, I think we are reasonably close to a diplomatic solution that can be worked out."

Background: On 22 October, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, calling on Moscow to agree to an immediate ceasefire in the war with Ukraine.
