Three important questions for Putin: the Kremlin envoy told what the Russian Federation demands from Ukraine

" The presenter asked what exactly the solution to the settlement of the war in Ukraine might be. "I'm mostly focused on the economy, investments and joint relations with the US, as well as making sure that the dialogue continues. But I think there are several elements. One of them is security guarantees for Ukraine. And Russia said yes, Russia is open to security guarantees for Ukraine," Dmitriev said. And he began a maxim about the "Russian-speaking" population.

"There is definitely the issue of territories where there is a Russian population that was attacked by Ukrainian troops even before the conflict began (an old narrative invented by the Russian Federation to justify aggression against Ukraine — ed. ). And there is the issue of Ukraine's neutrality, which is important for Russia's security. That is, there are not so many issues on the table.

And due to the understanding of how they can be resolved diplomatically, a solution can be found quite quickly," Dmitriev said. Putin's envoy also praised US President Donald Trump, noting "progress" in settling the war during his presidency. "First of all, President Trump avoided escalation to the Third World War. Second, he achieved the first truce regarding energy infrastructure that we had. And, third, he really understood the Russian position," the Kremlin envoy said.

And on CNN, he announced that "the meeting between Trump and Putin will take place - but probably later. " "I think that the meeting has been postponed - it should be well prepared by our diplomats," said Dmitriev. Kyrylo Dmitriev also stated that the dialogue between Russia and the USA will be continued. "This is certainly possible only if Russia's interests are taken into account and treated with respect," Dmitriev told Reuters earlier.

Dmitriev refused to say who exactly he was meeting with and predicted that US sanctions against oil companies would backfire. "They will only lead to the fact that gasoline at American gas stations will become more expensive," said Putin's envoy. The American news agency Axios reported that Dmitriev will meet with Trump's special representative Steve Witkoff in Miami on Saturday and with other people, whose names he did not mention.
