【Strengthening relations with the US, Zelenskyy appoints ambassador to the US】On August 27, Zelenskyy revealed in his evening regular video speech that he had signed an order to appoint Olga Stepanishyna, the special representative for US affairs, as Ukraine's ambassador to the US.
The main mission of the new ambassador is to fully implement all agreements reached between Zelenskyy and Trump, especially to promote cooperation between the two countries in the defense sector. According to Zelenskyy, US-Ukrainian defense cooperation is not one-sided aid as imagined, but rather equal and mutually beneficial. The United States can provide advanced air defense systems to Ukraine, and Ukraine can also provide advanced drones to the United States.
Zelenskyy also said a truthful statement: "The long-term security of Ukraine largely depends on its relationship with the United States." In other words, although Trump has variously criticized and picked on Ukraine, the relationship with the US is still considered the top priority by Zelenskyy. After going around and around, Zelenskyy has finally realized that only by securing the US can he secure Russia, and end the Ukraine-Russia war.
In fact, Stepanishyna previously served as vice prime minister responsible for Ukraine's European integration, mainly working on public relations with Europe. On July 17, 2025, she was appointed by Zelenskyy as the presidential special representative responsible for developing relations with the US.
