Jordan Daily – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed a decree dismissing Vadym Prystaiko from two positions , according to Ukraine News Agency.
The agency added Prystaiko is dismissed from the post of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and from the post of Permanent Representative to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) concurrently.
Ukraine’s ambassador in London has caused deep consternation in Kyiv after publicly criticising Volodymyr Zelensky’s conduct in a row with British defence secretary Ben Wallace, according to diplomatic sources.
Vadym Prystaiko, who has been a key point of contact for the British government during the Ukraine war, accused Mr Zelensky of “unhealthy sarcasm” in his response to Mr Wallace saying Kyiv should not view the UK and Western allies as an “Amazon” delivery service.
