In 1504 he was sent to Lithuania to Ivan III to his daughter Elena Ivanovna , who was married to the Lithuanian prince Alexander Jagiellon . Officially, the purpose of the trip was to deliver gifts, but it is likely that the mission also had some diplomatic component.
In 1509, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian sent an ambassador to Moscow to confirm trade agreements. Basil III declined to meet and, according to the old tradition, sent an ambassador for negotiations to Novgorod , who usually concluded agreements with the Germans on behalf of Russia. The cross over the contract was kissed by Zamytsky and Novgorod merchant elders Salarov and Kirillov.
In 1512 he traveled to Lithuania about complaints of peace violations and attacks in the border zone. Upon his return, he reported on an agreement to send Lithuanian judges to the border on April 23 to resolve border disputes. Reported about the difficulties that the Dowager Dowager faced in Lithuania.
In April 1519, from April 3 to May 23, he was with the embassy in the Livonian Order where he negotiated with the master of the order Albrecht Hohenzollern . In the documents of the embassy he was called the neighbor boyar son. At this point in time, there has been a close rapprochement between the Moscow state and the Order, based on a common anti-Lithuanian policy. The Order, in particular, asked Moscow for cash to maintain a mercenary army. Konstantin Timofeevich reported on the extraordinary honor with which he was received by Albrecht. (I personally met at the door, walked to the left of the ambassador, put him in his place at dinner). Not only direct negotiations between the parties were conducted with the master of the order, the master acted as a mediator in the negotiations of Pope Leo X with Basil III. The pope pursued several goals in these negotiations. First, frightened by the expansion of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, he wanted to create a broad anti-Turkish coalition. In this coalition, Moscow , Poland and Lithuania , in particular, were to act as a united front. Hence the desire to reconcile Moscow with Poland. Another goal was to achieve the adoption of the Greek Catholic Union . Vasily agreed to discuss political unions, but refused to participate in the union. Zamytsky’s departure to the Order was directly preceded by the arrival in Moscow of the papal ambassador Schomberg.
In 1520 he was governor in some city, probably in Nizhny Novgorod .
In 1533 he went as ambassador to the Moldavian Lord Peter
