Refusal to meet with the Ukrainian delegation
On Thursday, November 5, US President Donald Trump did not meet with representatives of Ukraine who were in the United States, limiting himself to talks with Kirill Dmitriev, Russia's special representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries. This was reported by Life.ru. Asked by journalists, he replied: “No, only with the chief representative of Russia.”
What is known about the content of the talks
Later, Trump confirmed that he had held a meeting with Kirill Dmitriev, but did not disclose its details. The published materials do not report on the outcome of the talks or their agenda.
The humanitarian track of contacts
Before that, Dmitriev, together with Russia's human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova, took part in a meeting with US First Lady Melania Trump and representatives of Ukraine. The meeting was devoted to summing up the results of the humanitarian mission in Alyoshky, Kherson region. Thus, two different formats of contacts took place on the same day: a humanitarian one — with the participation of the US First Lady and the Ukrainian side — and a separate conversation between Trump and Dmitriev, the content of which was not disclosed.
