Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev held “constructive” talks with US officials in Washington on Monday, September 28, 2026, according to a US official speaking Tuesday. The discussions centered on a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war and possible US-Russia energy initiatives for the postwar period.
What happened
Dmitriev, who also heads Russia’s RDIF sovereign wealth fund, traveled to Washington to meet with US officials. The US official said Dmitriev was in Washington “to continue constructive discussions on a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and possible U.S.-Russia energy initiatives after the war ends.”
- Who: Kirill Dmitriev, Putin’s envoy and head of the RDIF sovereign wealth fund
- When: Monday, September 28, 2026, confirmed by a US official on Tuesday, September 29
- Topics: a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war and postwar US-Russia energy initiatives
Why it matters
The Washington session caps a busy stretch of diplomacy. Last week, President Donald Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in New York, where Zelensky said they discussed a potential ceasefire on energy-related targets. Earlier this month, Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Putin in Moscow.
What to watch
Watch for signals of any follow-up meetings between Washington and Moscow, and for detail on what postwar energy initiatives might actually involve. Any concrete movement toward negotiations would matter for energy markets and the broader diplomatic picture.

Not financial advice.Do you think these back-channel talks bring a ceasefire meaningfully closer, or are they mostly positioning ahead of the next round?
