Andrij Melnyk, former Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, is to be his nation’s new consultant to the United Nations New York change into. President Volodymyr Zelensky introduced the switch of the present ambassador to Brazil in a video message. In addition, the presidential decree dismissing the earlier Ukrainian ambassador to the UN, Serhiy Kyslytsia, was revealed.

“The UN must play a stronger role to end the Russian war of aggression and achieve a just peace for Ukraine including security guarantees,” Melnyk informed the Editorial Network Germany. That’s what he desires to work on in New York: “side by side with our German friends and allies.”

Germany has an important position to play in forcing Russian President Vladimir Putin to finish his conflict of aggression, Melnyk continued. In New York, Melnyk, who is understood for sharp phrases, will meet, amongst others, the Russian UN Ambassador Vasily Nebensja.

As ambassador in Berlin, Melnyk overtly criticized the federal authorities – in his opinion, it acted too hesitantly in offering arms support for the Ukraine. He returned to Kyiv in October 2022 and have become deputy international minister. In June 2023 he moved to Brazil as ambassador.
