U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine Julie Davis to Depart in June, Less Than a Year After Taking Office

(Central News Agency, Washington, 28th, comprehensive foreign report) The U.S. State Department announced today that Julie Davis, the U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine, will depart in June, less than a year after taking office, at a time when U.S. President Donald Trump is pressuring Kyiv to reach an agreement with Russia.

The "Financial Times" quoted unnamed sources as reporting that Davis was disappointed with Trump's insufficient support for Ukraine.

However, the State Department denied any discord, stating she was retiring.

Agence France-Presse reported that State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said: "It is not true to say that Ambassador Davis resigned 'due to disagreements with Trump.'"

He stated: "She will continue to proudly advance President Trump's policies until her official departure from Kyiv in June 2026 and her retirement from the State Department."

Davis is currently the highest-ranking U.S. official at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, holding the title of Chargé d'affaires, not having been confirmed by the Senate as ambassador. She was nominated by the Trump administration in May last year to replace her predecessor, Bridget Brink, also a career diplomat, after Brink's resignation.

Brink was appointed by former President Joe Biden and is now running for Congress as a Democrat.

Brink later expressed deep concern about Trump's approach of "appeasing" Russia and "pressuring the victim Ukraine." (Translator: Kao Chao-fen / Editor: Yang Chao-yen) 1150429
