Jan 28 (Reuters) – Russia’s deputy foreign minister
Sergei Ryabkov will hold a meeting with Lynne Tracy, the new
U.S. ambassador to Moscow, early next week, the RIA news agency
reported on Saturday.
Tracy arrived in Moscow earlier this week. Russian Foreign
Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday that the new
U.S. ambassador would not improve ties between the two countries
because of what she called Washington’s ongoing “hybrid war”
against Russia.
Relations between Washington and Moscow have been at rock
bottom since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last February. Russia
casts the war as confronting what is says is an aggressive and
expansionist U.S.-led NATO alliance, while Kyiv and its allies
call Russia’s actions an unprovoked land grab.
According to Ryabkov, the traditional presentation of copies
of credential by Tracy is already agreed upon.
