The Russian ambassador has died in America

Aleksandr Darchiev, a Russian diplomat and former ambassador to the USA, has passed away at the age of 66. The Russian Foreign Ministry announced his unexpected death, praising him as an excellent diplomat and mentor. Darchiev was appointed by Vladimir Putin in 2025 to strengthen ties with the Trump administration, a move that stirred unrest in Europe and Ukraine. He previously served as ambassador to Canada from 2014 to 2021 and was born in Hungary into a diplomatic family. His last statement expressed concerns about a 'deep state' and a strong anti-Russian lobby.
