The Russian Ambassador to the United States spoke about the impact of 2025 on Russian-American relations

The past year has opened up opportunities for restoring relations between Russia and the United States. This was announced on December 31 by the Russian Ambassador to Washington, Alexander Darchiev, in a New Year's greeting.

"The year ending has been difficult, but it has opened up opportunities for restoring Russian-American relations, which were almost destroyed by the previous administration in previous years," he was quoted as saying on the diplomatic mission's Telegram channel.

In addition, he expressed gratitude to the people who did not "succumb to the virus of Russophobia" and continued the traditions of Russian America. Darchiev also stated the importance of an additional impetus for the ascetic activity of Russian Americans.

In addition, the Ambassador noted the worthy celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Meeting on the Elbe, during which flowers were laid at the memorial at Arlington Cemetery, as well as the Immortal Regiment march in honor of Victory Day on May 9.

"We are receiving signals from the United States of interest in discussing joint Arctic development"

On December 28, US President Donald Trump said that the restoration of trade relations between the American and Russian sides opens up great opportunities. The politician noted that Russia has "excellent lands, excellent minerals and much more."
