First Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine Maksym Nefyodov will perform the trade envoy's duties.
Ukraine's Deputy Minister for Economic Development and Trade and Trade Envoy Nataliya Mykolska has filed a letter of resignation, as she has plans to study at Stanford University.
"She's leaving to study at Stanford University. Two and a half years of work with Nataliya Mykolska was a very qualitative period in terms of efficiency. These were new markets in Africa, Europe, America, and Asia. These were joint trade commissions, as well as an export strategy and new approaches to shaping Ukraine's trade," First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Minister of Economic Development and Trade Stepan Kubiv said at a government meeting on Wednesday, August 22.
