Putin's envoy and Germany's AfD preparing meeting on resuming Russian gas supplies
Kirill Dmitriev, Vladimir Putin's chief economic envoy and head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund, and the leadership of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party have begun preparations for a meeting as early as March next year to discuss resuming Russian gas supplies to Germany, contingent on a Russia–Ukraine peace framework. Organizers had hoped US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would attend, but a US official told Reuters they were neither informed nor invited.
