Ukraine war
After Trump talk: Selenskyj wants to change ambassador
The situation for Ukraine is delicate: Russia attacks with undiminished hardness. At the same time, the United States is holding weapons back. Now Selenskyj Trump seems to meet with a personnel.
The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj apparently accommodates US President Donald Trump with an important personnel decision. The “Financial Times”, citing two people familiar with the matter, reported that the two heads of state had agreed in a phone call to replace the Ukrainian ambassador in the USA, Oxana Markarowa. Your teams would carry out further consultations about possible candidates that should be checked on both sides.
The US portal Bloomberg also reported, citing a person familiar with the matter, that the two presidents had spoken about the ambassador to replace the ambassador on Friday. Markarowa, who has been working as an ambassador in Washington since 2021, was accused of too much by some Republicans to the Democrats.
Her discharge could be an attempt to appease Trump in a time sensitive to Ukraine. Last week, the United States had held back to the Ukraine attacked by Russia. In addition, Russia is currently attacking the country massively with drones and rockets.
Large cabinet conversion planned
In the coming week, Selenskyj wants to announce the Markarowa personnel as part of a large cabinet conversion, as the newspaper reported to circles. Since the beginning of the war, Selenskyj has been reorganizing his cabinet several times.
A high -ranking Ukrainian official told the newspaper that Selenskyj wanted to appoint a “good negotiator” as an ambassador who “is understandable for the White House and at the same time for the congress”. According to the report, the Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Schmyhal and Defense Minister Rustem Umjerow should be candidates for the successor.
Ex-diplomat: Reinforcement to contain dissatisfaction
The former EU diplomat in Kiev, Balaz’s Jarabik, told the newspaper that the personnel changes were a known reaction to the growing political, economic and social pressure. “The transformation does not indicate a change in the strategic orientation, but seems to be destroyed to contain the dissatisfaction, to convey a feeling of renewal and maintain control in the middle of the growing pressure on several fronts.”
Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian invasion for more than three years.
