On April 10, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce announced that the US Ambassador to Kiev, Bridget Brink, had left her post. According to CBS News, her resignation is caused by an unusual combination of personal and political issues, including recent staff cuts at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). On the same day, the Financial Times newspaper clarified that the reason for Brink's dismissal was the growing level of her disagreements with the administration of the American leader and President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.

Later, on May 1, Bruce announced that Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had appointed the American ambassador to Cyprus, Julie Davis, as charge d'affaires in Ukraine. According to her, Davis is "an outstanding career employee of the higher diplomatic service."
