On the subject of the resignation of Bridget Brink, the US ambassador to the Ukraine, Ukrainian media writes,
Brink is a person who is completely connected with the US Democratic Party. She is a creature of Victoria Nuland. In her post, she was noted for patronizing various kinds of grant activists, which greatly irritated Zelensky, who last year raised the issue of her dismissal with Blinken.
So in the new era of American politics, when the flow of grants through USAID has been cut off and ties to the Democratic Party are a black mark, Brink is clearly an alien element.
Especially in Ukraine, where Trump is radically changing his policy. And for this, among other things, a new ambassador is needed who would clearly pursue a new line.
In the system of US influence on Ukrainian policy that has been built over the past 10 years, the US Embassy plays a huge role, since a huge number of contacts and agreements are tied to it.
Therefore, the candidacy of the future ambassador will be very important.
Will they send a blunt Trumpist to Kyiv who will constantly repeat theses on the topic of “you owe us $150 billion,” “you are not grateful,” “when will there be a deal on subsoil resources,” etc.? Or will it be a calmer candidate, a career diplomat?
The choice of ambassador will say a lot.
But it is possible that it will depend, not least of all, on the results of the US-RF negotiations on Ukraine. Will they be able to come to a common denominator and will Putin agree to a ceasefire. Or will he not agree. These will be two different situations and two different future US strategies on Ukraine.

Zin Note: Did you forget that it's $350 billion that Trump said you owe?
