Summary
At diplomatic level, Russia has so far rejected any prolonged ceasefire and demands, in order to put an end to the conflict, that Ukraine give it at least four regions - Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporijia - beyond the Crimean peninsula, annexed in 2014, and forever renounce membership of NATO (Organisation of the Atlantic-North Treaty, Western defence block). Former Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister of Justice, Olga Stefanishyna was appointed to office in July 2025. Zelensky, who in July started a controversial government reformulation in Ukraine, has not yet announced who will replace Stefanishyna at the Washington Embassy.
Furthermore, Diplomatic representation in the United States is crucial for Ukraine, which depends on the supply of arms and the sharing of information from the United States in the conflict with Russia. In a publication on the social network Facebook, cited by the agency France-Presse (AFP), Stefanishyna described the decision as "personal, motivated by personal circumstances" and published a letter requesting his dismissal.
