Publicly, the future ambassador's name has not been announced.
The president already has the candidate for ambassador of Ukraine to the United States. It should be an experienced person, according to Volodymyr Zelenskyy as quoted by LB correspondent.
The new ambassador should be a communicator so that Ukraine is remembered during the elections that will take place this year. Thus, among the tasks ahead for the new diplomat will be, among other things, the following.
“We need to be on television, meet with senators, think tanks. To influence, to talk. The person should have a deep understanding of many issues,” Zelenskyy believes.
Former ambassador Olha Stefanishyna submitted her resignation in light of a newly announced suspicion against her — for misreporting and illegal enrichment.
Ukraine in the United States was represented by Oksana Markarova. Her dismissal occurred in July 2025 — during the arrival of Donald Trump to power. Now Markarova is a presidential adviser.
