WASHINGTON – The United States has been without a full-fledged ambassador to Ukraine since May 2019, and this past May President Donald Trump nominated Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton (ret.) to be the next U.S. envoy in Kyiv.
Mr. Dayton is a retired lieutenant general of the U.S. Army and currently serves as the director of the George C. Marshall Center in Germany. His 40-year career has included positions within the Defense Intelligence Agency and as defense attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
