New U.S. Ambassador To Russia Arrives In Moscow
New U.S. Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy has arrived in Moscow, the State Department confirmed on Thursday.
"We expect her to present her credentials in the coming days," Vedant Patel, Department's principal deputy spokesperson, told a daily press briefing.
"There of course are issues of bilateral relations between the United States and the Russian Federation, and I know Ambassador Tracy is eager to continue working on these issues that will expand U.S. interest in a variety of areas" Patel said when responding to TURAN's Washington correspondent's questions.
Prior to her departure for Moscow, Tracy met with Russia's Ambassador to the U.S, discussed bilateral relations.
TURAN also asked Patel whether Washington was planning to issue an advisory on business risks to help guide the nearly 300 American companies apparently still operating in Russia.
"It is very clear that Russia is not a place where companies want to invest, and we will continue to see businesses and individuals fleeing the Russian Federation," he said in response, reminding that Russia’s brutal war has also led to a number of American corporations choosing to leave Russia.
In the meantime, he added, the decision to suspend or exit or operate is "ultimately up to individual companies" and legitimate commercial actors and investors are rationally assessing the various risks associated with doing business in Russia.
He went on to conclude, "I don’t have any memo or action to preview or business guidance to preview for you, but as we have long done, we are encouraging U.S. organizations and their personnel operating in the region to join the U.S. department’s Overseas Security Advisory Council, which is managed by Diplomatic Security. This is a free resource that’s available to all U.S. incorporated organizations operating outside of the United States, including, of course, corporate actors. And it issues ongoing assessments of the situation in Ukraine, highlights safety concerns, security concerns, logistical information, and other things as well"
