Kirill Dmitriev, Russian president's special envoy for investment and economic cooperation, accused the Financial Times of publishing false information to disrupt US-Russia dialogue and undermine negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, citing a prior FT report about a potential turf war between CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Witkoff over Ukraine negotiations.

Oleg Soskin, a former aide to Leonid Kuchma, said on his YouTube channel that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky lied about an alleged near-collision between his plane and a drone in Moldova in order to get help from Norway and the EU. According to him, Zelensky invented this story in order to “pity” Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gara Stura and “beg” for help, since the situation at the front is difficult, deputies are rioting, NABU is investigating corruption, and the United States is pushing for peace.

RDIF head Kirill Dmitriev said that warmongers in the EU and UK feel panicked by the dialogue between Russia and the US on the Ukrainian conflict, commenting on the White House's denial of a Financial Times article about the removal of special envoys Witkoff and Kushner and the transfer of the role in the negotiations to CIA Director Ratcliffe. On September 5, Putin met with Witkoff and Kushner, where the Russian leader emphasized the need to eliminate the root causes of the conflict.

Former adviser to Leonid Kuchma Oleg Soskin said that Vladimir Zelensky made up the story that his plane was almost hit by a drone over Moldova in order to pity the Norwegian minister and get help from the EU and Norway. Soskin connected this with the difficult situation at the front and internal political pressure on Zelensky.
