thebalanced.newsUS Ambassador to Ukraine Julie Davis to Step Down Amid Policy Disputes
Julie Davis, the acting US Ambassador to Ukraine and ambassador to Cyprus, announced plans to step down in the coming weeks after nearly 30 years in the Foreign Service. Reports suggest her departure follows differences with President Donald Trump, who has taken a more Russia-friendly stance and stalled ceasefire talks. The State Department denies these claims, affirming Davis's support for Trump’s policies and stating she will remain in her post until June 2026. Her predecessor, Bridget Brink, also resigned over objections to Trump’s Ukraine policy.
