Washington ready for ‘respectful & constructive’ dialogue with Moscow – US envoy

Ambassador Lynne Tracy has expressed hope for a “more peaceful future” in 2025

The US remains open to “constructive dialogue” with Russia, the American ambassador to Moscow, Lynne Tracy, said in her New Year’s address. She refrained from mentioning the Ukraine conflict by name, while expressing hope for a “more peaceful future” for both nations.

Washington and Moscow “must continue to find ways to sustain old ties and build new ones between Russians and Americans,” Tracy said in a two-minute video address published on the embassy’s X account on Tuesday.

“Our door also remains open to respectful and constructive dialogue with Russian government officials despite the profound disagreements we have on many issues,” the ambassador added.

Tracy stressed the “tremendous need for diplomacy,” noting that “conflicts and uncertainty continue to take a heavy toll across the world, including in this region,” in an apparent reference to the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, in which Washington has actively supported the Ukrainian side with military and financial assistance.
