Olha Stefanishyna stated on Monday that the decision to resign as Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States was made by her alone.
She wrote about this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.
“Today I have decided to resign as Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States of America. This is my own decision, dictated by personal circumstances that I have mentioned previously. Representing Ukraine in Washington at a time when it is fighting for its very existence has been the greatest honor of my life. Just as it was an honor to pave the way for Ukraine’s accession to the European Union as Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, and to advance reforms in the justice sector as Minister of Justice,” Stefanyishyna wrote.
She expressed her gratitude to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “for this trust and these opportunities,” adding that she counts on his understanding and support for this decision.
“It is important for me to make such decisions on my own, especially since the main points of the plan I came here with have been fulfilled,” Stefanyishyna wrote.
