Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has dismissed his ambassador to the United States, Olha Stefanisjyna, following speculation about cabinet reshuffling initiated last month. Stefanisjyna stated her departure is due to personal reasons, highlighting achievements like securing continued US arms deliveries despite a changing political climate in Washington. Simultaneously, former Defense Minister Rustem Oemerov will now lead Ukraine’s foreign intelligence service, replacing the current head who will take over as Minister of Internal Affairs. Zelensky previously announced plans to assign key foreign affairs roles to individuals with specialized experience. These changes follow previous dismissals, including the army chief and defense minister, which spurred public discontent and protests. The ongoing government overhaul aims to revitalize Ukraine's leadership during the ongoing war.
