President announces personnel changes in diplomatic corps

President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced upcoming changes in Ukraine’s diplomatic corps and said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is preparing candidates for the post of special envoy on Belarus and the Belarusian community in Europe.

Zelensky said this in his evening video address, Ukrinform reports, citing his Telegram channel.

“There will be personnel changes within the diplomatic corps. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also preparing candidates for the position of Special Representative on Belarus and the Belarusian community in Europe. A more active policy is needed. And it is precisely the proactive efforts of our state and the proactive efforts of our people that deliver the best outcomes for Ukraine. When Ukraine does not waste a single day or miss a single opportunity, Ukraine’s interests are genuinely protected,” Zelensky said.

The President also said that he had spoken with Ukraine’s diplomatic team and with individuals who have strong experience and have proven themselves in defending Ukraine’s interests.

“In particular, I met with Pavlo Klimkin. We are preparing to strengthen several areas of our diplomatic work in Europe and beyond. Ukraine’s interests must be represented both at the official level and in engagement with communities in those countries that are not yet free or remain under Russian influence,” he said.

As previously reported by Ukrinform, President Zelensky held a meeting with former Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin to discuss the foreign policy situation surrounding Ukraine.
