According to him, the reason for this decision is that some diplomats have been in office for too long.

“Most of them (ambassadors - RT ) are in office for a much longer term than the traditional terms for Ukrainian diplomacy, on average, 4–5 years. Some ambassadors sat out twice as much, ”Pristayko said.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky signed a decree on the beginning of the renewal of the diplomatic corps and the replacement of 12 ambassadors.
