According to Priestayko, Ukraine decided on the candidacy of Elchenko two months ago. Now Kiev has already received agremans from the United States, that is, prior consent to the appointment of an ambassador.

According to the Air Force, Ukraine considered several candidates for the post of ambassador to the United States, but they were either not approved in Kiev or disapproved in Washington. That is why the process dragged on for months.

The previous ambassador of Ukraine to the United States was Valery Chaly. He was one of the 11 ambassadors that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky dismissed at the end of July 2019.

Since then, the direction of Ukrainian-American relations was actually dealt with by freelance adviser to Vladimir Zelensky Igor Novikov and presidential aide Andrei Yermak.

Chaly’s dismissal was associated in particular with the fact that Zelensky considers him “Poroshenko’s man.” At the same time, Igor Novikov, commenting on Chaly’s dismissal, said that “Ukraine cannot afford an ambassador who interferes in American domestic politics and tries to manipulate our partners.”

Who is Vladimir Yelchenko?

Since 2015 of the year, Vladimir Yelchenko has been the representative of Ukraine at the UN; he is called one of the most experienced and respected Ukrainian diplomats.

Elchenko began to build a diplomatic career in the early 1980's. Since then, he worked at the Ukrainian mission to the UN, was an observer in the UN peacekeeping force in the former Yugoslavia.

In the 2000s, he held the positions of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Secretary of State of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from 2005 to 2007 he worked as the Ambassador of Ukraine to Austria, then as the permanent representative of Ukraine in international organizations in Vienna.

After that, for several years - from 2010 to 2014 - he was the ambassador of Ukraine to Russia, until he was recalled to Kyiv due to the annexation of Crimea.

Over the years, Elchenko was nominated several times for the post of head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but each time there were not enough votes in the Verkhovna Rada to make a decision.
