Putin: Russia, US to Return Ambassadors to Posts


        Russian President Vladimir Putin says he and US President Joe Biden have agreed to return their ambassadors to their posts in a bid to lower tensions.

        Putin made the announcement at a news conference following a summit on Wednesday with Biden in Geneva.

        The return of ambassadors follows a diplomatic tug-of-war that saw deep cuts in diplomatic personnel.

        Russia’s ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, was recalled from Washington about three months ago after Biden described Putin as a killer.

        US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan left Moscow almost two months ago after Russia suggested he return to Washington for consultations.
