Context
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously stated that Rustem Umerov could become the new diplomatic representative of the state in the USA.
However, later, MPs, including Yaroslav Zheleznyak, stated that Olha Stefanishyna would become Ukraine's ambassador to the USA, and Rustem Umerov would go to the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC).
The MP stated that Umerov could become the Secretary of the NSDC or Deputy Secretary.
As a result, Zelenskyy signed a decree appointing Olha Stefanishyna as the special authorized representative of the President of Ukraine for cooperation with the USA.
On July 16, the Rada dismissed Shmyhal from the post of Prime Minister. As a result, the entire government resigned.
