Ukraine-Russia war latest: Kyiv strikes Putin’s radar systems with sea drones in first-of-its-kind attack

President Volodymyr ​Zelensky dismissed Ukraine's ambassador to the United States, Olha Stefanishyna, in a decree published yesterday.

Stefanishyna had been in her job for nearly a year. Her departure had been expected for several weeks.

Her departure coincides with a shake-up in recent weeks ⁠of top officials, including the ​replacement ⁠of the prime minister and defence minister.

A reshuffle of Ukraine's diplomatic ⁠and ambassadorial appointments is also expected.

Stefanishyna, writing on Facebook, said the decision to leave her post was "my own decision, driven by personal circumstances... " and said she had accomplished much during her time in the post.

“We boosted the supply of American weapons and maintained support right when the political ⁠climate in Washington was changing and not in our favour,” she wrote.
