The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Kirill Dmitriev, who is part of the Russian delegation sent to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for talks with the U.S., has said that he has already met with people in the U.S. delegation. No word on what exactly was discussed outside of increased economic cooperation between the U.S. and Russia.

Given Dmitriev’s position, it’s highly likely that the topic of direct U.S. sanctions on the RDIF and adjacent financial matters affected by U.S. sanctions was at least touched on during his meeting with U.S. decision-makers.
