Putin envoy Dmitriev: Peace plan seeks to end Ukraine losses of land, lives

Russian President Vladimir Putin's investment envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, said on Friday the U.S. plan for a settlement of the war in Ukraine was aimed at preventing more Ukrainian deaths and loss of territory.



Several sources told Reuters and other media outlets that the plan to end the four-year-old war was the result of back-channel conversations between Dmitriev and Steve Witkoff, U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy.



"Because of warmongers’ propaganda, many people miss that Trump's Peace Plan is designed to save Ukraine from losing even more land and lives," Dmitriev wrote in English on the X social media platform on Friday.



"Watch closely attackers of the Peace Plan — and how they benefit from an endless war."



Dmitriev, head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund, has made several trips to the United States to solidify relations with Trump administration officials.



The plan, presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday, entails major Ukrainian concessions including ceding large swathes of territory and limiting the size of its military.
