Russian negotiator on Ukraine denies phone call leak

Kirill Dmitriev has said the transcript of his supposed conversation published by the US media is false

Russia’s investment envoy and negotiator on Ukraine, Kirill Dmitriev, has said that the transcript of his alleged phone call published by Bloomberg is false.

On Tuesday, Bloomberg claimed it had obtained a recording of Dmitriev’s short conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aide Yury Ushakov on October 29. The publication did not release the audio but posted the transcript in Russian and English.

Commenting on the story on X, Dmitriev wrote “fake.” He has previously accused Western media of spreading disinformation in an attempt to derail US President Donald Trump’s efforts to mediate peace between Russia and Ukraine.
