The clarification from the Russia===Kremlin regarding Kirill Dmitriev's visit to the United States suggests that a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine is not imminent, which could maintain current geopolitical risk premiums. The humanitarian ceasefire for Orthodox Easter offers a brief pause but does not signal a broader de-escalation.
The Russia===Kremlin clarified that Kirill Dmitriev, Vladimir Putin's special investment envoy, visited the United States for economic cooperation discussions and not for peace negotiations concerning Ukraine. Dmitry Peskov, the Russia===Kremlin spokesman, stated that peace talks remain paused. This statement came after Reuters reported on Dmitriev's visit and meetings with members of Donald Trump's administration for discussions on a peace deal and U.S.-Russia economic cooperation. Separately, Vladimir Putin announced a 32-hour ceasefire for Orthodox Easter, which Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government in Ukraine agreed to abide by. Peskov emphasized that Russia desires a lasting, sustainable peace rather than just a ceasefire, placing the onus on Volodymyr Zelenskyy to make the 'appropriate decision'.
