Russian ambassador to the U.S. Alexander Darchiev dies suddenly:

Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Alexander Darchiev, has died suddenly at age 66, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.

The ministry did not disclose the cause of Darchiev’s death. In a statement, it called him an “an outstanding diplomat, experienced leader, kind colleague and mentor,” and a “professional of the highest order and a brilliant expert on American affairs.”

Darchiev had served as Russia’s ambassador to the United States since March 2025.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Darchiev called it a “necessary measure,” The Guardian reported. In December 2025, when the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs held a hearing on Russian abductions of Ukrainian children, the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-.S.C., invited Darchiev to the hearing, but the ambassador did not attend.

The World Bank reports the average life expectancy for a man in Russia is about 68 years.

Hegseth Impeachment Vote Fails After ‘Elect Democratic Women’ Event Attendees Late to Vote:

Several House Democrats landed themselves in hot water for missing the vote to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth — with some of them claiming they got stuck in traffic on the way back from an event hosted by minority whip Katherine Clark’s (D-MA) Elect Democratic Women PAC that was scheduled at the same time.

Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY)  Tuesday evening effort to oust Hegseth was foiled by his fellow House Republicans in a 211-204 vote, which could have ended differently if the 11 Democrats who were absent had showed up on time.
