"I hope to start working with the new United States Ambassador to Ukraine as soon as possible," he added.
During a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Kyiv last week, the Ukrainian side was informed that work was over to select the new candidacy for the post of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, he said.
According to the minister, U.S. ambassadors are appointed by the U.S. president and endorsed by the Senate.
