Kislyak’s successor has not been announced, although it is widely expected to be Anatoly Antonov, a deputy foreign minister and former deputy defense minister seen as a hardliner regarding the United States.
President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, resigned after lying about contacts with Kislyak.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescued himself from the investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 election after reports that he had not disclosed meetings with Kislyak.
