She stepped down in May 2022 after Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and is now reportedly serving as the director of a research center at St.

In comments toover the weekend, Kneissl said she had been forced to “leave behind her old life” and start all over, but that she was so far enjoying her stay in the village of Petrushovo in the Ryazan region. “I am booked in for another month, then we’ll see what happens.
