Overview
- Russia's ambassador Alexander Darchiev delivered the compilation to Luna in Washington, confirming a handover of archival materials on President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination.
- The packet consists of machine-typed copies drawn from declassified Soviet records prepared for a collection titled The Assassination of President J. F. Kennedy and Soviet–American Relations.
- Rosarchiv said the same materials will be issued in an upcoming Russian publication, describing the compilation as part of its Cold War documents series.
- Luna said a team has begun translating and analyzing the 350 pages and that, because a government shutdown prevented U.S. archival support, the documents will be posted on the JFK Facts page once ready.
- Russia's embassy characterized the transfer as made at Luna's request and linked to an additional investigation pledged by President Donald Trump, while no conclusions from the files have yet been released.
