“Today, many countries, primarily the United States, are beginning to better understand the key, systemic role of Russian oil and gas in ensuring the stability of the global economy, as well as the inefficiency and destructive nature of sanctions against Russia,” Mr. Dmitriev said in remarks posted on his Telegram channel.
Mr. Dmitriev said that he had, on instructions from President Vladimir Putin, held meetings in the United States with the heads of the working group on economic cooperation between Russia and the United States.
“We discussed both promising projects that can contribute to the restoration of Russian-American relations, as well as the current crisis situation in global energy markets,” Mr. Dmitriev said.

Other attendees included Jared Kushner, who is U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and White House adviser Josh Gruenbaum.
