Ukrainian diplomacy suffers from a prolonged non-appointment of ambassadors in states important for Kyiv, according to Yevgeny Magda, Executive Director of the Institute of World Policy.
For example, among all Baltic States, Ukraine only has an ambassador in place in Lithuania, he told Glavred, adding that "this is despite the fact that the Baltic states are consistent in supporting our country and providing serious assistance in the European Union."
According to the expert, the efforts of ambassadors in Baku and Tbilisi should be reinforced by the appointment of an experienced diplomat to Yerevan so that the Ukrainian policy in the South Caucasus could be wholesome and consistent.
Another problem area for the Ukrainian diplomacy is Southern Europe, in particular, the Balkans.
