Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has dismissed Olha Stefanishyna from her post as Ukraine's ambassador to the United States, according to a presidential decree issued on Monday.

The move forms part of a broader government reshuffle that began in July following the appointment of Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky.

The report said Stefanishyna's departure comes amid scrutiny over corruption allegations, although she has not been formally notified of any suspicion.

She previously described the investigation as a normal legal process during a press conference in Washington.

According to the report, Stefanishyna had attended a meeting between President Zelensky and President Donald Trump at the White House just days before her dismissal, where discussions included Patriot missile interceptor production licenses.

Zelensky appointed Stefanishyna as ambassador in August 2025, replacing Oksana Markarova.

Her removal marks the latest change in Ukraine's diplomatic leadership as the government continues its broader administrative reorganization.
