Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky has sacked his country’s ambassador to the UK.
Vadym Prystaiko, 53, was reportedly dismissed after publicly criticising the president’s response to a row over gratitude for British military aid.
He had called Mr. Zelensky’s promise to thank the UK defence minister every morning an unhealthy sarcasm.
Zelenskiy’s order did not say who would replace Prystaiko an experienced diplomat and former vice prime minister who had held the post for three years.
BBC says Kyiv gave no official reason for the dismissal but confirmed Mr. Prystaiko was no longer the ambassador.
