Zelensky said he already has a nominee for Ukraine’s new ambassador to the United States
The president already has a nominee for Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States. It should be an experienced person, Vladimir Zelensky’s remarks from a meeting with journalists say.
The new ambassador should be a communicator so that Ukraine stays on people’s minds during the elections taking place this year. So the new diplomat will have, among other tasks, these responsibilities.
"They need to be on television, meet with senators, think tanks. Influence, talk. The person must have deep knowledge of many issues," Vladimir Zelensky believes.
The previous ambassador, Olga Stefanishyna, resigned amid the announcement of a new charge against her — for inaccurate asset declarations and illegal enrichment.
Before her, Ukraine was represented in the US by Oksana Markarova. Her dismissal took place in July 2025 — against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s rise to power. Markarova is now a presidential adviser.
