Details: Sybiha said he expects "personnel changes" in the Ukrainian diplomatic corps in the near future.

"We should probably expect about 20 decrees that will dismiss and appoint new heads of foreign missions," Sybiha said.

The foreign minister specifically mentioned Ukraine's ambassador to the US, Oksana Markarova, whom he called "one of our most successful ambassadors".

"She is extremely effective and charismatic, but every diplomat has a rotation cycle. I will confirm to you that the vision of the President of Ukraine is to rotate in all countries of the G7 and G20. That is, first of all, to strengthen these countries, in particular, the US track," Sybiha added.

Background:

• In June, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Zelenskyy had already made "certain personnel decisions" concerning replacing the heads of several foreign missions, which are expected to take place in July.
• The media reported that Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump discussed Markarova's replacement during their telephone conversation on 4 July.
