The US ambassador to Ukraine is stepping down from her post after nearly 3 years in Kyiv, following unsuccessful efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine and to end the war.

The State Department said on Thursday that Bridget Brink will soon be departing from her post; however, a date hasn’t been given. She came under former President Joe Biden’s administration and has been a strong advocate for American military assistance to Ukraine in this time of crisis.

Her resignation had been expected for quite some time, especially considering the Trump administration’s recent increasing friendly relations towards Russia.

“Ambassador Brink is stepping down,” the department said. “She's been the ambassador in Kyiv for three years — that's a long time in a war zone. And frankly, the war has gone on for far too long.”

“The real issue is whether the Russians and Ukrainians are ready to do what's necessary to end this war.” it further added.
