The next phase of Russia-U.S. consultations on resolving diplomatic tensions will take place in Moscow “in the near future,” Russia’s Ambassador to Washington, Alexander Darchiev, confirmed in his first interview since assuming the post in March.
The decision to shift talks from Istanbul to the capitals was made during the most recent round of discussions held on 10 April in Türkiye. Darchiev described it as a “tangible result” in what remains a difficult and lengthy path toward normalizing ties.
While acknowledging the challenges—including pushback from elements within the U.S. administration and Congress—Darchiev said it is important that some progress is being made, even if fragile.
Earlier rounds of talks in Istanbul, held on 27 February and 10 April, focused on easing long-standing diplomatic friction. The delegations, led by Darchiev and U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs Sonata Coulter, addressed issues such as banking access for embassies, visa procedures, and travel restrictions for diplomats.
Russia has also reiterated its demand for the swift return of diplomatic properties seized in the U.S.—a point Darchiev said remains a top priority in the ongoing talks.
The consultations come amid continued strain in Russia-U.S. relations, but the shift to capital-level dialogue suggests both sides are still looking for limited areas of engagement.
