U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan will return to Washington this week for consultations with the Biden administration and will return to Moscow, according to unnamed State Department sources cited by the Axios news portal.
The Embassy released a statement to that effect today: “Ambassador Sullivan is returning to the United States for consultations this week: ‘I believe it is important for me to speak directly with my new colleagues in the Biden administration in Washington about the current state of bilateral relations between the United States and Russia. Also, I have not seen my family in well over a year, and that is another important reason for me to return home for a visit. I will return to Moscow in the coming weeks before any meeting between Presidents Biden and Putin.’” https://ru.usembassy.gov/ambassador-sullivan-is-returning-to-the-united-states-for-consultations-this-week/
