Zelensky and Trump discussed the replacement of Ukraine's ambassador to the USA: Bloomberg named possible candidates.


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed the possible replacement of the Ukrainian ambassador in the United States during a conversation with American counterpart Donald Trump. This was reported by Bloomberg journalist Daryna Krasnolutskaya, citing an informed source.
Among the candidates for the position of Ukrainian ambassador in Washington are Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna, Defense Minister Rustem Umierov, and Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko. Currently, the Ukrainian ambassador to the USA is Oksana Markarova.
The possible replacement of the ambassador comes at a sensitive Time for Ukrainian-American relations. Recently, the Trump administration suspended military supplies to Ukraine, surprising Zelensky's government and his partners.
Despite the American president's efforts to reach a compromise with Moscow, the war in eastern Ukraine continues into its fourth year. Russia continues to shell Kyiv and other cities using drones and missiles.
The source reported that Zelensky has instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss the possible replacement of the Ukrainian ambassador in negotiations with the American side. The situation surrounding the change of the diplomatic representative is still being kept secret.
Reports of a possible change of the Ukrainian ambassador in the USA sound significant in the context of the deepening military conflict in eastern Ukraine and the complicated relations between Kyiv and Washington. The candidates for the position have already been identified, but the final decision has not yet been made.Read also
