Leaked tax records show Putin’s negotiator Kirill Dmitriev amassed over $13 million in three years #Ukraine
Leaked tax records show Putin’s negotiator Kirill Dmitriev amassed over $13 million in three years
The income of Kirill Dmitriev, a key Kremlin interlocutor with the United States and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), has exceeded 1 billion rubles ($13 million) over the past three years, according to the outlet Mozhem Obyasnit , which reviewed leaked tax records. Since March 2023, Dmitriev has earned more than 1.011 billion rubles. His official pay as RDIF CEO rose about 40% over that period—from 3.95 million rubles a month in 2023 to 5.6 million rubles per month in the first half of 2025. Journalists estimate he received at least 136.5 million rubles from the fund alone. The bulk of his earnings comes from payments by state-owned banks and companies. In July, Gazprombank transferred 309.5 million rubles to Dmitriev. He sits on the bank’s board of directors, but it is unclear whether the money was dividends, bonuses, or salary. Dmitriev also received about 19 million rubles in interest on large deposits at Gazprombank, where he holds roughly 132 million rubles. Dmitriev is seen as one of the Kremlin’s main points of contact in talks with the United States and a co-author of a so-called “peace plan.” His income continues to grow as Russia seeks to strengthen channels with Washington while waging war against Ukraine.

We don’t need another delegation of European leaders flying off to Washington to kiss Trump’s ring now. We need them to get on the train to Kyiv and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zelenskyy.

The decision will be made exclusively by the Ukrainians. Trump is very mistaken if he thinks otherwise.
