The former permanent representative of Ukraine in the UN Sergey Kislytsa was appointed by the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. The corresponding order was signed by Prime Minister Denis Shmigal on February 12, 2025.
Sergey Kislytsia, who held the position of permanent representative of Ukraine in the United Nations since December 19, 2019, will now head an important diplomatic role in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. This appointment happened after his dismissal in December 2024, which was part of the rotation in the Ukrainian diplomatic sector.
During his stay at the UN, Kislytsia became known due to his decisive and often sharp statements, especially in Russia. His position in the international arena has gained recognition and support among Ukrainians, as well as in the world of diplomacy. Its straightforwardness and firmness in statements became important aspects in counteracting Russian aggression and trying to manipulate international policy.
The appointment of Kislytsia to a new position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is an important step for Ukraine in the context of international policy and diplomatic relations. His experience in international organizations and the ability to effectively uphold Ukraine's interests in the world stage will provide new opportunities to strengthen the country's role in international relations.
