U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said that U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan will "return to Moscow in the coming weeks".
He noted that the U.S. remains committed to "open channels of communication with the Russian government, both to advance U.S. interests and to reduce the risk of miscalculation between our countries."
On April 20, Sullivan said he will go to Washington for consultations with the Biden administration. “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,” Sullivan said, adding that he will return to Moscow before any meeting between presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin.
