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).
