Russian official heads to Washington for talks: Source

WASHINGTON — A senior Russian official is expected to visit Washington this week for talks with the Donald Trump administration, according to a source familiar with the plan.

Kirill Dmitriev, the chief of Russia's sovereign wealth fund, who was appointed last month as Kremlin's special envoy on international economic and investment cooperation, will meet with US special envoy Steve Witkoff, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Their meeting was reported earlier by CNN, which said Dmitriev and Witkoff will hold talks on strengthening relations between the two countries as they seek to end the conflict in Ukraine.
