Chinanews, April 21st, a comprehensive report, the US ambassador to Russia John Sullivan (John Sullivan) said on the 20th that he will fly back to the United States this week to discuss US-Russian relations.

Four days ago, the Kremlin suggested that the United States recall Ambassador Sullivan.

Earlier on the 20th, Sullivan had stated that he would not leave.

　　According to reports, Sullivan said in a statement on the U.S. Embassy website: "I think I must discuss the current state of bilateral relations between the United States and Russia directly with my new colleagues in the Biden administration in Washington."

　　But he said he will return to Moscow before any possible summits between President Biden and President Putin, and he expects to return within a few weeks.

　　Recently, diplomatic tensions between the United States and Russia have escalated and the situation is complicated.

　　On March 16, the US intelligence agency issued a report stating that Russia supported Trump during the 2020 US presidential election and suppressed the Biden campaign team.

The Russian side responded that the US allegations were baseless.

　　On March 17, the United States expanded export restrictions to Russia on the grounds that Russia used "illegal nerve agents".

On the same day, US President Biden was asked whether he thought Russian President Putin was a "killer," and he answered in the affirmative, which aroused a strong reaction from the Russian side.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately recalled the Russian ambassador to the United States Antonov to discuss the prospects of Russian-US relations.

　　On April 15, the US government again imposed large-scale sanctions on Russia and expelled 10 Russian diplomats on the grounds of malicious activities such as Russia’s cyber attacks and interference in US elections.

　　On April 16, Russia responded to the US sanctions and decided to expel 10 US diplomats in Russia and put 8 US government officials on the "blacklist."

On the same day, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that the Russian side suggested that Ambassador Sullivan "return to his capital and conduct detailed and serious consultations there."

　　Although the relations between Russia and the United States are in a severe state, the Kremlin has not ruled out Biden's proposal that the two leaders hold a summit in Europe.

Putin will also speak at the online climate summit hosted by Biden on the 22nd.
