Arakhamia learned about Trump's meeting with Dmitriev, the head of the Russian delegation, from the news

David Arakhamia, head of the “Servant of the People” party faction in the Verkhovna Rada, stated that a separate meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian Special Representative Kirill Dmitriev was not planned in advance and went beyond the scope of the humanitarian operation to evacuate residents from the occupied city of Oleshky in the Kherson region. 

According to the MP, he learned about this event from the news only after the Ukrainian side had concluded its talks with U.S. First Lady Melania Trump. When asked why Trump met with Dmitriev and ignored the Ukrainian delegation, Arakhamia speculated that these talks might have concerned the upcoming trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi, scheduled for November 10–11, or some other topic. 

The lawmaker rejected allegations that the Oleshky operation had political or pre-election motives, emphasizing its exclusively humanitarian and apolitical nature. Meanwhile, The New York Times reported that the Trump administration is considering lifting sanctions against the Russian Direct Investment Fund, headed by Dmitriev.
