Dmitriev calls talk of compromises between Russia and the U.S. too early

It is still premature to talk about compromises between Moscow and Washington. This was stated by Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), who took part in Russian-American talks in Riyadh on February 18.

"It is early to talk about compromises, the sides have started <...> listening to each other," he told Reuters.

At the same time, Dmitriev emphasized that the Russian and American delegations in Riyadh perceive each other as equals and conduct dialog with mutual respect.
