China News Service, June 11, reported that on the 10th local time, US State Department spokesperson Price said that the US believes that the US ambassador to Russia, John Sullivan, will return to Moscow within a few weeks.

　　US State Department spokesperson Price said: “Ambassador Sullivan was deeply involved in preparing for the meeting between Biden and Russian President Putin. We think he will return to Moscow in the next few weeks.” At the same time, the United States remains committed to “and The Russian government has opened up communication channels to promote the interests of the United States and reduce the risk of misjudgment between the two countries."

　　According to three people familiar with the matter, Biden plans to deal with the tense diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia when he meets with Russian President Putin on the 16th.

In the absence of high-level diplomats in the two countries for several months, it is hoped that the leaders of both sides can agree to send their ambassadors back to Washington and Moscow respectively.

　　About three months ago, diplomatic tensions between the United States and Russia escalated.

Russian ambassador to the United States Antonov returned to Moscow from Washington.

Subsequently, Russia also suggested that John Sullivan, the US ambassador to Russia, return to Washington for consultations, and then leave Moscow for home.

When relations between the two countries are already severely strained, the absence of an ambassador makes basic diplomacy more difficult.

　　According to US media analysis, the departure of the ambassadors of the two countries marked the already tense bilateral relations entering a new trough, and their return seems to be the only “moderate achievement” that the Biden administration has focused on at this US-Russia summit.

　　US National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan once said this week that he does not believe that the US-Russia summit will bring results. “We think this is an opportunity to convey our intentions and capabilities to the outside world.”
