Russia says productive meeting with US envoys in Florida after US lifts some oil sanctions

Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriyev said Wednesday that he participated in a “productive meeting” with American negotiators. “Thank you, Steve, Jared and Josh, for a productive meeting,” Dmitriyev wrote on X, referring to Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Josh Gruenbaum.

The talks in Florida come after the U.S. decision earlier this week to lift some sanctions on Russian oil - to lower prices as the war in the Middle East rages.

Steve Witkoff wrote after the meeting that “the teams discussed a variety of topics and agreed to stay in touch.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will hold talks with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Friday about increased pressure on Russia, France announced on Thursday.
