Quote from Reuters: "The Trump administration continues to press Russia and Ukraine to agree to a ceasefire, two US officials familiar with the matter said."

Details: Reuters said Dmitriev, a former Goldman Sachs investment banker with a Stanford education, is one of the most well-connected figures of the Russian elite in the United States, maintaining close ties with several key members of Trump's team. He became the highest-ranking Russian diplomatic representative to visit the United States on an official trip since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Dmitriev stated on X (Twitter) that the dialogue between Russia and the US, which he claims to be very important, concerns the world's prosperity.
