MOSCOW, October 6. /TASS/. Washington is not ready to sever diplomatic relations with Moscow, so a new US ambassador to Russia is likely to be appointed soon, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said in a televised interview with Channel One on Wednesday.
"Americans argue at the political level that it is inexpedient to completely break off diplomatic relations and they think it necessary to have their representatives in Moscow. By the way, it was recently announced that the appointment of a new ambassador to Moscow may be expected soon," he said.
