On this day in 2019: Ambassador Bill Taylor ‘loves being back in Ukraine’
“He’s been back on the job in Kyiv only since June 18, but already U.S. Ambassador William B. Taylor is shaping up as the comeback story of the year.
Taylor served as U.S. ambassador a decade ago, from 2006 to 2009, and is now officially charge d’ affaires, a designation that allowed the U.S. government to swiftly put him in place with no U. S. Senate confirmation vote after Marie L. Yovanovitch left in May.
He is the first of America’s nine ambassadors to Ukraine to make an encore performance. And he’s enjoying every minute of it.
