Put down the popcorn, folks, because U.S. Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman says he won’t be speaking at this month’s St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, though he will attend.

In a video address shared on Twitter, Huntsman said he won’t participate in any panel discussions at the event, but he will “be meeting with as many people as possible to discuss the road ahead.”

The forum’s program previously listed Huntsman as a panelist at the conference, where he would have appeared alongside the sanctioned billionaire Viktor Vekselberg.
