Aleksandr Darchiev will represent Moscow in Washington, according to a presidential decree

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree appointing Aleksandr Darchiev as Russia's new ambassador to the US.

According to the document, published on the state portal for legal information on Thursday, Darchiev will also be Moscow's permanent observer at the Organization of American States (OAS).

The administration of US President Donald Trump handed over to Russia a note with the approval of Darchiev's candidacy as ambassador during talks between the sides in Istanbul in late February, which were aimed at restoring the proper functioning of the diplomatic missions of the two countries.

Darchiev, who had headed the North Atlantic Department at the Russian Foreign Ministry since 2021, led the country's delegation during the meeting.

The post of ambassador to the US had remained vacant since Anatoly Antonov was relieved of his duties on October 10, 2024.
