According to the interlocutor, the position will be determined later, preliminary consultations with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sibiga have already taken place.
At the same time, the decision to replace Markarov in office has not yet been made.
In June, Sibiga reported that President Zelensky had already made “certain personnel decisions” to change the heads of some foreign institutions – they are expected in July.
And the media wrote that during a telephone conversation by Zelensky with US President Donald Trump, which took place on July 4, they discussed Markarova’s replacement issues.
What was before:
- Last year, a scandal broke out in September in September when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the United States in the midst of the presidential election campaign visited the Pennsylvania projectile production plant.
- At that time, the speaker of the US House, Mike Johnson, demanded the liberation of Oksana Markarova from the post of ambassador, stating that she was organizing an event, at which there was “no Republican”.
- Johnson also stated that Republicans lost their confidence in the ability of Ambassador Markarova to honestly and effectively perform diplomatic functions in the United States.
- In response, Volodymyr Zelenskyy refused to discuss the release of Markarova.
- Markarova has been a ambassador to the United States since February 25, 2021 – that is, more than four years. The cadence of Ukrainian ambassadors abroad lasts about 3-5 years.
