Overview
- Davis, the acting head of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, will leave her post in June, the State Department confirmed Tuesday.
- Spokesman Tommy Piggott said she is retiring after three decades in the Foreign Service and backed the administration’s push for a Russia‑Ukraine peace deal.
- Financial Times reported, citing unnamed sources, that she chose to resign over disagreements with President Trump on support for Ukraine.
- FT also reported that Davis, who serves as U.S. ambassador to Cyprus, was surprised by a new nominee for that position.
- Reports placed her exit in a broader pattern of turnover and strain at the Kyiv mission, recalling the departures of Marie Yovanovitch and Bridget Brink and noting fewer Ukraine specialists at State since Trump returned to office.
