U.S. rejected Umerov for ambassador, analyst says
Washington has “politely but firmly” rejected Rustem Umerov when Kyiv proposed him as ambassador to the United States for a second time, political scientist Ihor Reiterovych told NV Radio on Aug. 10.
Ukrainian officials have been rebuffed by the United States in their latest attempt to appoint Rustem Umerov as ambassador to Washington, according to political analyst Ihor Reiterovych. Reiterovych stated that Washington had already made it clear that Umerov was not an acceptable choice when the proposal was first made. Despite this, Ukrainian officials persisted, reiterating the nomination after Olha Stefanishyna's departure for personal reasons and due to impending corruption charges from Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU).
However, the U.S. State Department swiftly dismissed the second nomination, labeling it unacceptable.
