Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said that President Volodymyr Zelensky has approved 20 candidates for the posts of ambassadors of Ukraine.
“As for the ambassadors, there is a certain shortage of appointed envoys. This is a normal process: when the head of state changes, the diplomatic corps changes, too. This process is lengthy since country requires considerable time to agree on the appointment of a specific person to a specific country. The process on our part has been completed. President Zelensky has been submitted the minister’s proposal regarding about 20 new heads of foreign missions, they have been agreed with him,” Prystaiko said in an interview with Hromadske.
To the Foreign Minister, the information about the candidates was sent to other countries to obtain their consent for the final appointment of Ukrainian ambassadors.
“We are now sending proposals to countries, so that they are decided. If they agree, the registration process starts. It is necessary for us to give a person the opportunity to collect stuff, take their children and spouses and leave to fulfill their mission. There is no special, separate delay. There is a normal process of rotation of the corps,” Prystaiko emphasized.
