Dmitriev explained the significance of the "screams" of the Western media against the background of Witkoff's visit to Moscow

Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), commented on the agenda of the European media on December 4 after Steven Witkoff's visit to Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"The screeching is getting louder. This is progress," says a post on his Facebook page (ex. Twitter).

The meeting between Witkoff and Putin ended on the night of December 3. The negotiations lasted about five hours. Financial Times journalist Christopher Miller wrote on December 3 that the US special envoy to the talks in Moscow was smiling, while at a meeting with the Ukrainian delegation in Florida he was not smiling and was serious.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on the same day that negotiations between Russia and the United States would be conducted in greater "silence" in order to bring more benefits. He confirmed that this agreement remains in force and no adjustments are planned in this approach.
