After three years in Kyiv, Bridget Brink the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine is stepping down from her post amid uncertainty over the Trump administration’s attempts to broker a peace deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Brink assumed the job under former President Joe Biden’s administration and has been a staunch advocate for U.S. military assistance to Ukraine.

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters: “Ambassador Brink has been at the embassy in Ukraine for three years during a time of war, for those three years it’s been an extraordinary performance there. And we wish her well.

“At the same time, of course, it’s a reminder when it comes to the issues that we think about that surround this conversation is that we know that we’re working for (peace) and that is our focus.” Bruce added

The career foreign service officer, has been outspoken in her support for arming Ukraine to help it defend itself from Russia’s invasion and had continued her advocacy even after President Donald Trump took office in January and began to pressure Ukraine to accept a ceasefire proposal.
