Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said that he proposed the candidacy of former Finance Minister Oksana Markarova for the post of Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States.
According to the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the current ambassador of Ukraine to Washington, Volodymyr Yelchenko, is a classic of Ukrainian diplomacy, and there are no complaints about his work, but nobody canceled the principle of rotation in diplomacy.
“The candidate for the new ambassador is submitted to the president for consideration by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Having weighed all the arguments, I proposed the candidacy of Oksana Markarova,” Kuleba noted, adding that the procedure for its registration has already been launched, but it will take some time.
The minister also called for judging the appointment of Markarova “by a signed presidential decree, and not by publications in the press.”
“If appointed, Ukraine will for the first time have an ambassador in Washington, who is well known both in the US Administration, in particular, in the State Department and the Ministry of Finance, and in the IMF. The fact that Markarova is only sent to knock money out of the IMF is nonsense. The important truth is also that Markarova will be the first ever woman appointed Ukrainian ambassador to the United States. These are unconditional advantages,” Kuleba emphasized.
