POLICY WIRE — Kyiv, Ukraine — President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States, Olha Stefanishyna, in a presidential decree published on Monday. Stefanishyna, who had held the position for nearly a year, was expected to depart her post in recent weeks.

Her dismissal comes amid a broader shake-up of top officials, including the replacement of the prime minister and defense minister. A wider reshuffle of Ukraine’s diplomatic — and ambassadorial appointments is also anticipated.
