Putin envoy Dmitriev's sister secretly visits Ukraine 

Journalist Katie Livingstone reported the information, citing her own sources.

According to border records, Natalia Dmitrieva entered Ukraine on February 8 and left on February 12 — just days before planned talks between Russia and the U.S. in Saudi Arabia on a potential resolution to the war in Ukraine.

One source claims she left Ukraine for the U.S. in early 2022, shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion, along with her mother. The purpose of her visit to Ukraine and her activities during her stay remain unknown.

“Although older records showed that both Natalia and her mother, Tamara Shevchenko, previously held Ukrainian passports, they appeared to travel to Ukraine over the last several years using American passports. It is unclear how Natalia and Tamara have American passports or whether they are currently living in the US,” Livingstone writes.

The journalist says that the Dmitriev family may own more assets in Europe and Ukraine than previously known.

Putin's envoy Dmitriev: background

Kirill Dmitriev lived in the United States for over 10 years, earning degrees from Stanford and Harvard. His wife is a close friend of Putin’s daughter, and Dmitriev himself has enjoyed the Kremlin’s deep trust for years.

He currently heads the Russian Direct Investment Fund and plays a key role representing Moscow in behind-the-scenes peace talks between Washington, Kyiv, and Moscow.

“Although Kirill’s US connections are well known, his sister’s and mother’s apparent status as American citizens is new. Natalia’s recent visits to Ukraine come as a surprise too,” the journalist added.

• Russian opposition politician Mark Feygin, in an interview with Anton Borkovskyi on Espreso TV, said that Kirill Dmitriev, who represented Russia at the talks in Riyadh on February 18, performs an applied, utilitarian function and plays no political role.
