Putin envoy Dmitriev, Trump envoy Witkoff meet in Washington
April 2, 2025
WASHINGTON — "Russian President Vladimir #Putin's investment envoy #KirillDmitriev met with US officials in Washington on Wednesday (April 2) as the Trump administration continues to press Russia and Ukraine to agree to a ceasefire, two US officials familiar with the matter said.
"Dmitriev, a Stanford-educated former #GoldmanSachs investment banker, is one of the most US-savvy members of Russia's elite, with close relations to some key members of the Trump team. He is the highest-ranking Russian official to travel to the US on state business since Russia's 2022 expanded invasion of Ukraine.
"It was not clear what Dmitriev discussed with the US officials.
"But his visit comes after President Donald Trump expressed his frustration with the pace of ceasefire talks, saying on Sunday he was 'pissed off' with Putin and raising the possibility of imposing sanctions on those who buy Russian crude. Russia is the world's second largest exporter of crude after Saudi Arabia.
"#SteveWitkoff, a Trump envoy who has taken the lead on the Trump administration's contacts with the Kremlin, invited Dmitriev to the US last week, said the US officials. The White House directed the State Department to issue a short-term licence for Dmitriev to travel to the country, a necessary step as Dmitriev faces US sanctions, the officials said.
"Dmitriev may be key in repairing relations that were, until Trump's January inauguration, the worst between Moscow and Washington since the most dangerous junctures of the Cold War.
"The Russian envoy played a role in early contacts with the US when Trump was first elected president in 2016, as well as in building relations with #SaudiArabia, which led to an #oil price agreement under the expanded #OPEC+ producers' forum."

#Trump adviser’s Russian contact closely linked to #Putin family
New questions over meeting between #ErikPrince and financier with direct ties to Russian president
Max Seddon in Moscow, Apr 1 2018
"Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater private security group and a close campaign adviser to Donald Trump, met a Russian financier with direct ties to Vladimir Putin's family in the weeks leading up to Mr Trump's inauguration, according to multiple people briefed on the talks.
"Although Mr Prince's meeting with Kirill Dmitriev in the Seychelles, which is being examined by special counsel Robert Mueller, has been previously disclosed, Mr Dmitriev's ties to the Putin clan have not been widely known. According to six people close to Mr Dmitriev, his wife is close friends with Mr Putin’s younger daughter.
"The close links to Mr Putin's family are likely to raise new questions about whether Mr Prince was seeking a back-door communications route to the Kremlin on behalf of Mr Trump following earlier press reports that Mr Mueller was pursuing this line of inquiry.
"Mr Dmitriev’s wife Natalia Popova is the deputy director of Innopraktika, the technology foundation of Yekaterina Tikhonova, Mr Putin’s younger daughter.
"Ms Popova’s close friendship with Ms Tikhonova has made him a powerful figure in the Kremlin, according to three people who work with Mr Dmitriev, a state banker, a fellow private equity executive and a person who knows him socially.
"Mr Dmitriev, who runs the Kremlin’s $10bn Russian Direct Investment Fund, is a member of Innopraktika’s board and a former board member of petrochemicals giant Sibur, where Ms Tikhonova’s husband Kirill Shamalov is a senior executive. RDIF arranged a $1.75bn loan to a Sibur project in 2015, when Mr Shamalov owned 21.4 per cent of its stock. (He reduced his share to 3.9 per cent in 2017.)
"Mr Dmitriev regularly attends Ms Tikhonova’s performances in acrobatic rock and roll dancing alongside Mr Shamalov, according to the parent of another contestant.
"Mr Mueller wants to determine whether Mr Prince — whose sister is US education secretary Betsy DeVos — was attempting to negotiate a back-channel with the Kremlin on behalf of the incoming Trump administration at their meeting in January 2017, according to reports in the New York Times and Washington Post. The emergence of close links to the family adds weight to that line of inquiry.
"George Nader, an adviser to Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nayhan, the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates, has told Mr Mueller’s team that Mr bin Zayed set up the meeting between the two men as a way to discuss US-Russia relations informally, the newspapers reported earlier this month. Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala state investment company has a $2bn joint fund with RDIF that has invested in strategic Russian businesses. Mr Prince told congressional investigators in November that he met Mr Dmitriev by chance while discussing other deals with UAE officials in the Seychelles and left after drinking one beer.
"Mr Dmitriev, who has degrees from Stanford and Harvard universities, was appointed to run RDIF when the Kremlin set it up in 2011 as an attempt to attract more foreign private equity investment in Russia."

2020: #TrumpCampaign Adviser Pleads Guilty to Child Porn, Sex Trafficking
An informal adviser to Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign who testified in the Mueller probe pleaded guilty Monday to charges of child sex trafficking and possessing child pornography.
by Brandi Buchman
January 13, 2020
"Another of [#GeorgeNader’s] meetings that caught the special counsel’s eye was Nader’s January 2017 gathering in the paradisiacal #Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.
"There, Nader was joined again by bin Zayed [#UAE’s crown prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.]. But this time in attendance was #ErikPrince, founder of the security company #Blackwater, and Russian President Vladimir #Putin’s ally #KirillDmitriev, head of #Russia’s $10 billion sovereign wealth fund, the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
"Though Prince told Mueller the meeting in the Seychelles was happenstance, Nader testified the meeting was planned and that the subject discussed was how to create diplomatic back channels between the #Trump team and #Moscow."
