Zelenskyy: New measures being prepared within diplomatic team, particularly in USA
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that decisions are being prepared to restructure the diplomatic team, particularly regarding relations with the United States.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that the diplomatic team is being restructured, with a particular focus on strengthening relations with the United States. Zelenskyy stated that new approaches are needed in certain areas, especially in the U.S. The process of making these decisions will involve consultations. Ukraine is seeking tangible results from these efforts, according to Zelenskyy, who addressed the nation on Thursday evening.
Earlier, on August 3, Zelenskyy signed a decree removing Olha Stefanishyna as Ukraine's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States, with the corresponding decree No. 696/2026 published on his website. Stefanishyna confirmed her resignation in a Facebook post, citing personal reasons.
In July 2026, Zelenskyy reportedly offered the position of U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine to Yulia Svyrydenko. The Ukrainian leader is actively working to improve diplomatic ties with the United States.
