🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ — NEW: U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met in Miami Beach with Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev last month, who pitched peace in Ukraine through multiple business deals and said economic cooperation could build “political trust,” according to WSJ.

➡️ The Russian side told them it prefers U.S. investors in a postwar Russia over Europeans.

➡️ Secretary of State Rubio indicated to Dmitriev that Putin must show real commitment to peace first before any business cooperation.

➡️ Witkoff skipped a European Ukraine-talks meeting and refused to engage with European officials. His August meeting with Putin was arranged only days beforehand, and after a short video call with European leaders, he headed to Ibiza, leaving them unable to reach him as they continued trying to follow up.

➡️ Treasury Secretary Bessent objected to allowing the sanctioned Dmitriev into the U.S., but Trump overruled him.

➡️ Russia also floated a joint Mars mission with the U.S. and SpaceX.

➡️ Western officials told the WSJ that the Miami meeting with Russia’s envoy was the culmination of a strategy planned before Trump’s inauguration.
