Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Alexander Darchiev, has died at the age of 66, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. The ministry said in a statement that he “passed away suddenly” on Wednesday, just a year and a half after being appointed to the US role. Darchiev was an “outstanding diplomat, an experienced leader and a kind colleague” and worked “in one of the most critical areas of Russian foreign policy”, the ministry said. He was a specialist in Russia-US relations. He was appointed last March, shortly after US President Donald Trump returned to power, and several years into Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In 2022, when Russia launched its offensive against Ukraine, Darchiev called the move a “necessary measure”.
