U.S. Ambassador to Russia Exits at Critical Stage
Conservative Treehouse ^ | June 27, 2025 | Sundance

U.S. Ambassador to Russia, Lynne Tracy, who was appointed by Joe Biden, has departed her position in Moscow as U.S. Ambassador to Russia. There has been no announced name for replacement.

[¹Get the friggin’ BBB passed!]

...

Remember, in the last 20+ years, no American official has spent more face-to-face time with Vladimir Putin than U.S. Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff. On behalf of President Trump Witkoff has held multiple meetings and discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin lasting more than 4 and 5 hours at a time. U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy was not present.

Do not forget, nor overlook this baseline fact.

MOSCOW, June 27 (Reuters) – Lynne Tracy, the U.S. ambassador to Russia, is leaving Moscow, her embassy said on Friday, noting she had served through one of the most strained periods in relations between Moscow and Washington.

The departure of a career diplomat appointed under the administration of former president Joe Biden comes as Russia and the United States discuss a potential reset in their ties which sharply deteriorated after Moscow launched its full-scale war in Ukraine in 2022.

[…] “I am proud to have represented my country in Moscow during such a challenging time. As I leave Russia, I know that my colleagues at the embassy will continue to work to improve our relations and maintain ties with the Russian people,” the embassy cited Tracy as saying in a statement.

Her successor has not been publicly named. (more)

Trust is a valuable commodity!

I’m surprised she wasn’t replaced months ago. I can’t guess who President Trump will pick, but one thing I do know -— Putin respects Trump, because he respects strength!

Shocking that a Biden appointee still had the gig 5 months after inauguration.

I would have thought that Russia is one of the first ambassador jobs Trump would have wanted to fill

Trump’s way of letting Russia know it isn’t as big a deal as it used to be.

Article said she wasn’t involved in discussions between Putin and Trump’s “Special Envoy”, so she’s been a place holder. Perhaps they decided it would be a distraction to pull her out sooner. And naming a replacement in that critical post deserves careful consideration. Russian bombast is based on a sense of inferiority going back centuries, and they crave respect. Taking care with the appointment of a new ambassador conveys respect. Trump is a master at knowing the buttons to push in dealing with all sorts.
