Ukraine’s new foreign minister Andrii Sybiha has decided to recall Mykhailo Kharyshyn, Ukraine’s chargé d'affaires in Georgia, and submitted a request for the dismissal of Deputy Foreign Minister Iryna Borovets, Sybiha wroteon Facebook.
Sybiha said he had held a meeting with Ukrainian ambassadors and consul generals on 8 September.
"I have set out very clear criteria for the efficient work of a Ukrainian ambassador. These are concrete results, courage, and proactivity. The ambassadors of a country at war cannot be detached from the realia of war. In this connection, I have decided to recall the acting Ukrainian chargé d'affaires in Georgia," Sybiha stated.
Sybiha noted that he had announced the termination of the long-standing mission of the chargé d'affaires in Georgia due to his "complete lack of understanding of the realia of diplomacy of a country at war".
The minister noted that he had also submitted a request for the dismissal of Deputy Foreign Minister Iryna Borovets.
Sybiha added that "the Ministry will have a new structure, and the embassies’ staff schedules will be reviewed".
"We need young people to join us. The right conditions will be put in place to achieve this – I have planned a meeting with the heads of leading universities in the sector," he said.
