Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev reportedly participated in what he described as a "productive meeting" with American negotiators in Florida on Wednesday, March 12, 2026. According to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Dmitriev posted on social media platform X, thanking "Steve, Jared and Josh, for a productive meeting," referring to Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Josh Gruenbaum.
The Florida talks reportedly followed the United States' decision earlier in the week to lift some sanctions on Russian oil, allegedly aimed at lowering prices as war rages in the Middle East. Steve Witkoff reportedly wrote after the meeting that "the teams discussed a variety of topics and agreed to stay in contact."
