Foreign Minister Dmytro Sibiha said that the search for Ukraine’s new ambassador to the United States remains an open question. This was reported by Hlavcom citing Ukrainian Radio.
According to Sibiha, several strong candidates have already declined the post, and the president is still deciding on a nominee.
At the same time, the minister emphasized that the absence of an ambassador does not mean the Ukrainian embassy has stopped working, as its activities are being managed by the chargé d’affaires ad interim and a professional team of diplomats.
Recall that former Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S. Olga Stefanishyna said the future Ukrainian ambassador in Washington should have access to the American administration, be impeccably fluent in English, and be respected within U.S. political circles. At the same time, the diplomat warned against appointing someone with excessive political ambitions.
Note that Olga Stefanishyna left the position of Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. in early August 2026 due to personal circumstances. Since then, the Ukrainian diplomatic mission in Washington has remained without a head.
