Washington, May 19
The Senate confirmed Bridget Brink late on Wednesday as the US ambassador to Ukraine, filling the post as officials plan to return American diplomats to Kyiv during the nation’s continuing battle against the Russian invasion.
The veteran foreign service officer, who has spent most of her career in the shadow of the former Soviet Union, was nominated to the position last month by President Joe Biden. She was confirmed unanimously by the Senate without a formal roll call vote.
American diplomats evacuated Kyiv when the war began three months ago, but the US reopened the embassy on Wednesday.
The ambassador’s post has been vacant since former president Donald Trump abruptly forced out ambassador Marie Yovanovitch in 2019. She later became a key figure in the first impeachment proceedings against Trump.
Brink had been the ambassador to Slovakia.
