Russian Ambassador to the U.S., Aleksandr Darciev, passed away unexpectedly at 66, as announced by the Russian Foreign Ministry. Darciev served as ambassador since March 2025, shortly after Donald Trump's return to office, and had a notable diplomatic career focused on U.S.-Russia relations. The ministry expressed deep sorrow over his sudden death but did not disclose the cause or circumstances. Darciev previously held the ambassadorial position in Canada and had significant roles within the Russian Foreign Ministry. His appointment came amid rising tensions between Russia and the West due to the Ukraine invasion, and he was known for supporting Kremlin's foreign policy.
