The comment came after Russian President Vladimir Putin on September 24 signed decrees on the release of Alexei Meshkov and Andrei Kelin from the posts of Russian ambassadors to France and the UK. The official reasons for the suspension of the diplomats are unknown.
Mr. Meshkov was appointed senator from the Tver region. Mr. Kelin can replace the former US Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Federation Council, RBC wrote, citing sources.
