Ex-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, plans to start working as Ukraine's ambassador to the UK in the coming weeks. This was reported by Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President, during a telethon.

"As far as I understand, everything has been officially clarified, so he will officially be an ambassador," the advisor said.

He also noted that London had approved Zaluzhnyi's candidacy for the post of Ukraine's ambassador.

"Now we are going through the procedural formalities through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I think this has been a matter of several weeks. Some logistical components are still to be resolved," Podolyak said.

He noted that he no longer sees "politicization" around Zaluzhnyi's name. According to him, resignations and new appointments should be discussed "more calmly." 

"We need to be calmer about any rotation of Ukrainian personnel. Because the war is still a significant crisis phenomenon, and not everyone can withstand the load... And this is a normal process for any healthy society," the advisor said.
