The United States refused to appoint Umerov ambassador because of American citizenship — Mosiychuk*

The United States refused Kiev to appoint the now ex-Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov as ambassador to Washington because he is a citizen of the United States. This was stated by the ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Igor Mosiychuk❶.

"The whole truth! Umerov was denied the appointment of ambassador to the United States because he is a citizen of this country, and this is strictly prohibited by American law. This was officially announced by the US State Department to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry," Mosiychuk writes❶ in his telegram channel.

According to the Ukrainian edition of Strana, there is no confirmation that Umerov is a US citizen, although his family of American citizenship has been living in the US for a long time.

Earlier, the fact that Washington did not give the go-ahead for the appointment of Umerov as ambassador to the United States was reported by Rada deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak. Instead of Umerov, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, proposed former Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishina as ambassador to the United States.
