The American official noted that it would be inappropriate for him to give personal assessments of such decisions. However, he reported that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Dmytro Kuleba on the phone to express how much he enjoyed working with him over the past few years.
"Foreign Minister Kuleba has been an extraordinary partner of the United States in our work in support of Ukraine... in the fight against Russian aggression, as well as in the work that we have done to mobilize diplomatic support," Miller said.
He noted that in a sense, Foreign Minister Kuleba was the main partner of the United States in trips around the world, which were organized to obtain diplomatic support for Ukraine, as well as to hold Russia accountable.
According to Miller, Blinken and Kuleba always first raised the issue of providing Ukraine with air defense and other means of defense during meetings with other countries. He also noted that both, during their joint work, tried to figure out how to solve specific problems facing Ukraine, which continues to fight Russian aggression.
Miller also added that Blinken expressed his gratitude and friendship to the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, and that he was already looking forward to cooperation with his deputy.
