  Sullivan said that the United States and Russia are both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and the two countries will not completely cut off ties.

So despite the differences, there is still a need for continued communication.

  He also emphasized the need for the United States and Russia to retain embassies in each other's countries, stating that "this is the minimum" and "is the foundation."

John Sullivan believes that "we should keep the embassies in Moscow and Washington, not just the Russian mission to the United Nations".
