Because US President Joe Biden had described his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin as a “war criminal”, the US ambassador to Moscow was summoned yesterday. Despite the tense situation, the United States emphasizes the importance of diplomatic relations. “I want to say bluntly that the United States has no intention of closing the embassy in Moscow,” US Ambassador to Moscow John Sullivan told the opposition Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta. “And President (Joe) Biden has no intention of removing me as ambassador.”
At the same time, Sullivan said: “Nonetheless, we have seen signs from the Russian leadership that diplomatic relations may be terminated. (…) That wasn’t said explicitly, but it sounded like a threat.”
The Foreign Ministry in Moscow recently said that Russian-American relations were “on the verge of breaking up.”
