The minister emphasized that the absence of an ambassador does not mean the Ukrainian embassy has ceased operations.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that the search for a new Ukrainian ambassador to the United States remains an open issue. This was reported by Glavcom, citing Ukrainian Radio.
According to Sybiha, several strong candidates have already declined the position, and the president continues to decide on the nominee.
At the same time, the minister stressed that the lack of an ambassador does not mean the Ukrainian embassy has stopped working, as its activities are carried out by a chargé d’affaires and a professional team of diplomats.
As a reminder, former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Oleksandra Stefanishyna stated that the future Ukrainian ambassador in Washington should have access to the American administration, be flawlessly proficient in English, and be respected among U.S. political circles. At the same time, the diplomat warned against appointing a person with excessive political ambitions.
Note that Oleksandra Stefanishyna left the post of Ukrainian ambassador to the United States at the beginning of August 2026 year due to personal circumstances. Since then, the Ukrainian diplomatic mission in Washington has remained without a head.
