Trump administration officials have discussed possible sanctions relief for a Russian state investment fund, according to a Russian official.
The official said the potential relief was part of ongoing talks between Washington and Moscow.
Russia has sought to gain economic benefits from negotiations aimed at ending the war with Ukraine.
The discussions signal a possible shift in U.S. policy toward Moscow as diplomacy continues.
Details remain limited, and no final decision on sanctions relief has been announced.
The fund has been a target of Western restrictions imposed after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Any relief would mark a notable change in the sanctions landscape shaped over the past several years.
Officials have not publicly confirmed the scope or timing of the discussions.
