US EditionActing US ambassador to Ukraine leaving post, officials deny frustration with Trump
The State Department said Julie Davis will remain in Kyiv until June 2026 and retire after nearly 30 years in the Foreign Service.
- On Tuesday, the State Department announced acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Julie Davis will step down in June 2026 and retire after serving less than a year in the role.
- Davis assumed her duties in May 2025 following the resignation of Bridget Brink, a career diplomat who stepped down over objections to President Donald Trump's Ukraine policy.
- State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott denied The Financial Times report that Davis is leaving "over differences with Donald Trump," stating she remains a proponent of the Trump Administration's peace efforts.
- Her departure occurs as President Trump pressures Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to reach a deal with Russia, while ceasefire talks have largely stalled amid Washington's focus on Iran.
- Although President Trump vowed to quickly end the war that began with Russia's invasion in February 2022, the conflict persists more than four years later.
