The appointment of a new Russian ambassador to Washington is not related to the results of the US presidential election; Moscow is guided solely by its internal calendar. This was told to journalists by Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov.
“As the President of the Russian Federation decides, so it will be” – he said in response to a question from TASS about the appointment of a new Russian ambassador.
“The connection with elections has always been artificial. And what was the president’s administration doing at that time? [США Барака] Obamaattributing absolutely unthinkable and absurd functions from beginning to end to our diplomatic representatives, this only strengthened us by realizing that, regardless of whether at the time of the American elections there is an ambassador of the Russian Federation in Washington or a chargé d’affaires There, attempts by the so-called American establishment will continue to denigrate our line, claiming that we are trying to somehow influence the outcome of the elections, etc. Therefore, we will act according to our internal calendar and not the American one.” – noted the vice minister.
