Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink published a column in which she admitted that the reason for her resignation was disagreements with the administration of US President Donald Trump.
Brink published the column on the website of the Detroit Free Press.
She wrote that she respects the right and responsibility of the US President to determine the country's foreign policy.
"Unfortunately, the policy since the beginning of the Trump administration has been to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia," Brink writes.
According to her, this was the reason that she could no longer carry out the administration's policy and considered it her duty to resign.
Brink added that she believes that the only way to ensure US interests is to defend democracy and oppose autocrats.
"Peace at any price is not peace at all ― it is appeasement. And history has taught us time and again that appeasement does not lead to safety, security or prosperity. It leads to more war and suffering," Brink wrote.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on April 21, 2025, Bridget Brink published a farewell video in which she announced that she was resigning from the post of US Ambassador to Ukraine.
As the Financial Times newspaper wrote at the time, the reason for Brink's resignation from the post of Ambassador was disagreements with the policy of the new US President's administration.
Recall, on May 1, Washington announced who would temporarily take up the post of US Ambassador to Ukraine.
