U.S. President Joe Biden plans to nominate career diplomat Lynne Tracy as U.S. ambassador to Russia, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing a source familiar with the matter.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the CNN report.

Tracy, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, served as deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow from 2014 to 2017.

Before being sworn in as ambassador to Yerevan in 2019, she served as senior adviser for Russia affairs in the State Department's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs.
