WASHINGTON, Apr 12 (NNN-XINHUA) – U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, is stepping down, said U.S. State Department spokesperson, Tammy Bruce, without giving a specific date.
Brink was nominated by former U.S. President, Joe Biden, and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate in May 2022. She is a supporter of U.S. military aid to Ukraine.
Her departure comes at a critical moment in U.S.-Ukraine relations, following U.S. President, Donald Trump, signaling a dramatic shift in U.S. foreign policy towards Ukraine, and a tense meeting during which Trump and U.S. Vice President, JD Vance, blamed Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, for pressing the United States on security guarantees.– NNN-XINHUA
