SUMMARY

U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Julie Davis will leave her post in the coming weeks.

The acting chargé d’affaires has grown frustrated with her role amid differences with President Trump over his dwindling support for Ukraine.

Davis notified the State Department of her decision and plans to retire from diplomatic service after three decades.

Her departure follows that of predecessor Bridget Brink, who resigned in April last year for similar reasons.

Brink opposed the pressure Trump placed on Kyiv while letting Moscow off the hook.
