Trump criticized the work of the former US ambassador to Ukraine

“No matter where Marie Jovanovic was, everything turned out badly. She started in Somalia, and how did it go? ”Wrote the head of state on Twitter.

He also noted that "the new Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky, spoke negatively about her during a telephone conversation."

Trump recalled that the appointment of ambassadors is the president’s right.

Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a US President's absolute right to appoint ambassadors.

Earlier, The Washington Post, referring to Yovanovitch’s notes prepared for a congressional speech, wrote that Trump personally sought her resignation.

In late September, Senator Bob Menendez demanded that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explain why the State Department was replaced by Jovanovic.
