Talks confirmed, US delegation to meet with Putin's envoy in Davos

Russian President Vladimir Putin's special envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, will meet with the US delegation on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Dmitriev wrote on X on Tuesday that he had arrived in Davos. He did not disclose the purpose of his visit to the Swiss city, but added a dove of peace emoji to his post.
When asked to comment on media reports that Putin's envoy had planned talks with US officials later in the day, Peskov responded by saying: "I can confirm that he indeed has such plans."
"Dmitriev is transmitting information about the peace process in Ukraine" between Moscow and Washington, he said.
His next task is to discuss issues of economic cooperation with the US, the spokesman noted. “You know that we are in favor of resuming these relations,” he added.
Peskov did not say who Putin's envoy will negotiate with in Davos, but dismissed speculation that he might meet with US President Donald Trump, who is attending the WEF this year.
Axios correspondent Barak Ravid previously reported that Dmitriev will meet with Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and the US leader's son-in-law Jared Kushner on Tuesday.
Dmitriev has visited the US several times since Trump took office a year ago. His last trip was in December, when he held two days of talks with Witkoff and Kushner. Both sides described the discussions as “constructive.”
Peskov said last week that the Kremlin is looking forward to another visit by Witkoff and Kushner to Moscow, although he noted that a date had not yet been set. Bloomberg previously claimed that a trip could happen as early as this month.
