The United States and Russia have made "significant progress" towards a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine, Kremlin negotiator Kirill Dmitriev said on April 3 following talks with officials at the White House.
"Significant progress has been made on the ceasefire agreement in Ukraine," Dmitriev reported, according to the Russian state news agency TASS.
Dmitriev, who heads the state-controlled Russian Direct Investment Fund, met with U.S. officials in Washington on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin on April 2 and 3.
Dmitriev praised the administration under U.S. President Donald Trump for its constructive and respectful dialogue with Russia and said the two nations plan to restore and deepen their ties, including with further economic cooperation.
American businesses are prepared to return to Russia and fill the vacancies left after European companies withdrew in the wake of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Dmitriev said.
"U.S. companies are ready to occupy the niches left by European companies that left the Russian Federation," TASS reported.
The two countries are also discussing restoring direct flights.
Dmitriev did not disclose any details related to a potential ceasefire agreement, but said the Trump administration "is listening to the position of the Russian Federation" and will determine the date for the next round of negotiations "in the near future."

This would explain why russia was not on Trump’s tariff list yesterday. The current US administration is like a bad movie that never ends.
Disgusting
In a normal reality this would be an April Fool’s type of post. Yet here we are.
Even if this is true, I am not convinced US companies will trip over themselves rushing into russia. They would be at the mercy of a relationship between two demented narcissists.
Validates that Trump is a Russian asset and executing the Russian plan.
… and the US officially joins the axis of evil.
I can’t even describe how dissapointed i am.
Welcome to the world of Russia “Saving” the US economy (from a self inflicted wound). Instead of that fancy LG dishwasher, you can purchase your newly improved Igor Pro II. It will cost the same as the LG from a year ago, but the magnets for the motors are from refurb Lada alternators. Good luck with the warranty.
I think the world should start placing sanctions on America since they’re clearly on Russia’s side.
If that was to happen, it would be a decades long blemish on the people of the US.
F#¢k Russia and their idiot Trump.
The EU is the largest and 2nd richest market in the world. Let the US trade access to the EU market for access to the Russian market – seems like a great swap.
Foul cunts.
So dirty Russian money will come flooding into the US and corrupting everything in sight. Not that they haven’t already been doing just that but now it will be on another level.
American people will boycott any US business that enters the Russian market. They won’t be safe visiting this country. Maybe Florida.
No American planes bound for Russia will fly through European airspace, guaranteed. It’s gonna be a loooooong flight. To Istanbul.
No progress has been made on a ceasefire, yet Trump continues to support Russia. This proves Trump threatening sanctions against Russia was a massive lie. (No one believed otherwise)
🇨🇦 Those Russian “airlines” are going to need a route that doesn’t pass through Canadian airspace.
I don’t know how it would work, but the whole world could come together in the trade war against the US. The EU, China, SK, Japan, India, Brazil, Australia, Canada. I’m probably missing some big entity. It is a problem that we have an actual war in Europe at the same time, but China can actually stop it any time they want. Just cut the export of drone parts. Maybe maybe.
Words are not enough to describe the fiasco that has been happening lately. If history has taught us anything, one way or another, the US will suffer severely for all these.
Time to put the US on the terrorist list?
It’s a genius 8D chess move.
Piss off pretty much the whole world in trade terms, but then balance the economic carnage by investing in trading with and within the wartime economy of Russia, whose GDP is similar to that of….Italy.
As an added bonus, US Companies will benefit from operating almost without competition inside a modern, competitive economy with such advantages as an educated workforce and a wealthy consumer base, with a tight, well established and consistently applied legal and regulatory system that delivers low levels of corruption and general criminality.
If I was an American CEO I’d be jumping ( out of a window) to grab this opportunity with both hands ( or whichever one the local crime boss is kind enough to leave me the use of )
What could possibly go wrong?
Fucking massive /s, comrade.
Russian planes will not be flying over EU or Canadian airspace- especially the stolen ones.
Everyone in the US, you better understand that you wont restore your respect for likely decades at this rate. The systematic, economical, and global harm trump is doing is astronomical.
The best/easiest brainwashing Trump ever had to do to get his cult to ignore his blinding allegiance to Russia has been from saying “Russia Russia Russia hoax”. Probably didn’t hurt to have Barr completely lie about the findings of the completely kneecapped Mueller report either.
Can’t wait for US citizens to still get detained by Russia to be held hostage for prisoner exhanges.
Disgraceful. Disgusting. Ashamed. I will boycott any business that does this. It is already awful that America is tariffing Europe, and then to trade with Russia? a betrayal of our historic allies.
I hope this is all a lie. Russia should be shunned from the civilized world for the next 100 years
Two mafia states in action.
I miss Bush. Can we have bush back ?
America fight back already, he is destroying your country and heritage.
This is interesting and matches some of the articles I’ve read recently,
From what I can gather the consensus is for Trump to do a deal, any deal with Russia! and if it works for Ukraine great if not who cares,
Then use the increase in trade with Russia to supply USA with its raw materials needs previously supplied from Canada, this along with the Tariffs and other economic damage levied against Canada should force them to become the 51th state
Of course this doesn’t work if Canada forms deeper trade relations with Europe and other OECD nations, that’s why Trump had a spaz over Canadas plans to join EU
