L'ambassadeur russe aux États-Unis est mort "soudainement" à 66 ans (Moscou)
"The leadership and staff of the Russian Foreign Ministry are deeply saddened to announce the sudden death, on November 11 (...), of Alexander Nikitich Darchiev," the ministry said in a statement, describing him as an "eminent diplomat" and a "brilliant specialist on the United States."
Alexander Darchiev took up his post in Washington in March 2025, amidst a rapprochement between the two countries driven by Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, particularly on Ukraine.
Previously, in 2021 he was appointed director of the North America department at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then, in early 2025, was put in charge of the entire North Atlantic area (United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada and United States).
Between 2014 and 2021, he had been ambassador to Canada.
Alexander Darchiev had replaced Anatoly Antonov in Washington, who had left the post vacant from October 2024, amid tensions between Moscow and the administration of Joe Biden over the conflict in Ukraine, which began in 2022.
