Excited to share that I’m starting a new position as Ambassador-at-Large for the Coordination of Recovery and Reconstruction of Ukraine at @LithuaniaMFA#StandWithUkraine
International cooperation and global solidarity with Ukraine are crucial in our fight for freedom.
Today, I welcomed diplomats from over 30 countries who arrived to serve in Ukraine. During an orientation session at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, I emphasized the importance of strengthening economic, cultural, and political ties.
Ukraine is open to partnerships and values the support of international allies.
Grateful to all diplomats for their work — our intergovernmental dialogue will only grow stronger!
