MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th June, 2021) Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport and is expected to depart for the United States later on Sunday, a Sputnik correspondent reported.

The plane will land in New York at JFK airport on Sunday afternoon local time, and then the diplomat will travel to Washington.
