Julie Davis, the acting US ambassador to Ukraine, will step down in June and retire from diplomatic service. Her resignation follows criticism of the US administration's approach to Ukraine, echoing sentiments from former ambassador Bridget Brink, who resigned in 2025 over similar policy disagreements. Brink emphasized the moral implications of US foreign policy, stating that peace achieved through appeasement is not true peace. The US ambassador position in Kyiv remains vacant, and the future of diplomatic efforts regarding Ukraine is uncertain.
