Alexander Darchiyev Approved as Russia's New Ambassador to the U.S.

Russia's Foreign Ministry confirmed that the U.S. has approved Alexander Darchiyev's appointment as the new ambassador to Washington. This comes after discussions in Istanbul, as the position had been vacant since last October. Darchiyev, formerly head of the North America Department, will assume the role soon.

In an official statement, Russia's Foreign Ministry announced that the U.S. has granted its approval for the appointment of Alexander Darchiyev as the new Russian ambassador to Washington.

The approval was conveyed during diplomatic discussions held in Istanbul on Thursday, where the American side handed over an official note sanctioning Darchiyev's role.

With Darchiyev, previously the head of the North America Department at the Foreign Ministry, set to depart for Washington imminently, this appointment fills the vacancy left since last October.
