Title: New U.S. Ambassador to Russia to be Announced Soon Despite War

The White House is set to announce a new U.S. ambassador to Russia this week, despite the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has led to an unprecedented decline in U.S.-Russia relations. This announcement was made by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland during an interview with the independent Russian television channel "Dozhd." Nuland stated that the new ambassador to Moscow will be a woman for the first time, although she did not reveal her name, implicitly acknowledging the accuracy of previous reports in this regard. Earlier, CNN reported, citing sources, that President Joe Biden plans to select Lyn Tracy, the current U.S. ambassador to Armenia, who has held the position since 2019.
