There are two candidates: the director of the European Center for Safety Research and and. Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia.

US President Donald Trump plans to appoint U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine 40-year-old retired Lieutenant General Keith Dayton. It is reported by Politico, citing sources.

Now Dayton is director of the Pentagon-affiliated European Center for Security Research George Marshall.

According to the interlocutor of the publication, Trump likes Dayton, and he, in turn, is “ready to take on the job”.

Another likely candidate for the post of ambassador, the publication’s sources call career diplomat Philip Ricker, who now serves as assistant secretary of state for Europe and Eurasia.

Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Jovanovic was recalled after a slanderous campaign organized by Trump's personal lawyer Rudolf Giuliani. This is part of the charges against Trump that could lead him to impeachment..
