Tefft delivered his speech in Ukrainian.[4] On February 26, 2013, President Obama nominated Geoffrey R.

Strained relations with Russia over pro-separatist activity in eastern Ukraine, the country's annexation of Crimea, and the alleged shooting down of a commercial airliner, prompted senators to finally approve the nomination.[9] He presented his credentials to President Vladimir Putin on November 19, 2014[10] and left the position on September 28, 2017.[11] In 2016, the Russian governor of the Samara Oblast, Nikolay Merkushkin, advised AvtoVAZagregat employees for help in paying wages and appeals to US Ambassador John Tefft.[12][13] AwardsTefft has received a number of awards, including the State Department Distinguished Honor Award in 1992 and the DCM of the Year Award for his service in Moscow in 1999.
