Darchiev was an “outstanding diplomat, an experienced leader and a kind colleague” and worked “in one of the most critical areas of Russian foreign policy”, the ministry said.
In February 2025, a week before his appointment as ambassador, Darchiev led the Russian delegation at talks with the United States in Istanbul on restoring embassy operations.
"We express our deepest and most sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Alexander Nikitich Darchiev," the statement added.
Before that, he served as the Russian ambassador to Canada from 2014 to 2021 and headed the Russian Foreign Ministry’s North Atlantic Department.
