Appointment of United States Assistant Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland and. O. the first deputy head of the State Department will be a “nightmare” for Russian-American relations, writes Responsible Statecraft (RS).
“This will be good news for the anti-Russian” hawks “who are asleep and look how to annoy even more Kremlin”, – the author of the publication Connor Echols shared the details.
But for those who advocate ending the Ukrainian conflict through negotiations, the promotion of the diplomat will be a really bitter pill, the article notes.
The observer expressed the belief that that her appointment will be clearly perceived in the Russian Federation. However, there is a possibility that Nuland will not take over the post permanently.
