The new US ambassador to Russia, Lynne Tracy, has accepted her post in Moscow. “Welcome back to Russia, Ambassador Tracy,” the US mission said on its Telegram channel on Thursday.
The diplomat worked in the Russian capital from 2014 to 2017 as the deputy head of the diplomatic mission.
Now, the 59-year-old is the first woman to be sent as an ambassador to Russia by the United States. Tracy was sworn in on January 9.
Tracy’s predecessor, John Sullivan, left Moscow in September 2022 after the death of his wife from cancer.
The professional diplomat has extensive experience with the countries of the former Soviet Union. In addition to being based in Moscow, she has worked in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, among others. Most recently, she served as ambassador to the South Caucasian ex-Soviet Republic of Armenia. (aeg/sda/dpa)
