US Ambassador to Ukraine has resigned

United States Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, has resigned.

Ambassador Brink was nominated by President Biden to be U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine on April 25, 2022, shortly AFTER the Russian entry into Ukraine. 

She was confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate on May 18, 2022, and arrived in Kiev on May 29, 2022.

A career member of the Senior Foreign Service, Ambassador Brink served as U.S. Ambassador to the Slovak Republic from August 15, 2019, until her confirmation as Ambassador to Ukraine.

She previously served as Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs at the Department of State, with responsibility for issues related to Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and the protracted conflicts in Europe. She also served as Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassies in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and in Tbilisi, Georgia.

During her twenty-five years in the Foreign Service, Ambassador Brink has spent most of her career advancing U.S. policy in Europe and Eurasia. She was the Director for the Aegean and the South Caucasus at the National Security Council and also served in the State Department as the Deputy Director for Southern European Affairs, Special Assistant to the Under Secretary for Political Affairs, and Cyprus Desk Officer. She began her career in Belgrade, Serbia.

Originally from Michigan, Ambassador Brink joined the State Department in 1996. She holds Master’s degrees in International Relations and Political Theory from the London School of Economics and Political Science as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Kenyon College. Ambassador Brink speaks Russian and has studied Georgian, Serbian, and French. She is married with two children.

Hal Turner Remarks

Given her length of employment, and more specifically her education, she seems to me to be exactly the WRONG person for the Trump Administration to have allowed to remain since President Trump began his second term.

I think the country needs ALL the Biden people - OUT - of government.

I say "Good riddance."
