Russia's ambassador to the United States, Alexander Darchiev, has died at the age of 66, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday. He "passed away suddenly," said Russia's Foreign Ministry in a statement published on X without giving more details on the cause of his death. "We have lost an outstanding diplomat, an experienced leader, a kind colleague and a mentor," Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement. "We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Alexander Darchiev’s family and loved ones." Darchiev held several positions within Russia’s Foreign Ministry before replacing Anatoly Antonov as ambassador to the US in early 2025, shortly after Donald Trump's election.
