Russia withdraws ambassador Antonow from the USA - what is behind it?

Russia has recalled its ambassador in Washington, Anonow Antonow, as the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed. The 69-year-old diplomat, who has been in office since 2017, is now returning to Moscow. Antonow, known for his hard attitude, was previously deputy minister of defense and often appeared as a vehement defender of the Russian attack on Ukraine.

This decision marks a significant step in the diplomatic relationships between Russia and the USA. Antonov's aggressive rhetoric towards the West and its role in the defense of Russian politics could have been the causes of his dismissal. Further details on the situation and the possible consequences are still unclear, www.radioherne.de .
