Context of the Ukrainian Delegation’s Visit
The announcement comes in the wake of the arrival in the U.S. of Russia’s special representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, Kirill Dmitriev. According to CNN, Dmitriev plans to meet soon with U.S. President’s Special Envoy Steve Vitkoff.
This visit marks the first time a high-ranking Russian official has visited Washington since the onset of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. To obtain a visa, U.S. sanctions on Dmitriev were temporarily lifted, as reported by the network. State Department representatives do not comment on visa issues for privacy reasons.
