Russian Foreign Ministry: Relations between Russia and the United States are on their last legs

“It is important, in our opinion, that the head of the (American. -

) diplomatic mission should not focus on worsening relations that are already on their last legs, but try to at least keep them at the current level, trying to do better,” he said.

According to TASS, in this way he commented on the role that Lynn Tracy will have to play, which the US Senate approved for the post of US ambassador to Russia.

In September, it became known that US President Joe Biden proposed Tracy's candidacy for the post of ambassador to Russia.

On December 21, the US Senate approved Tracy's appointment as ambassador to Russia.
