Details: Zelenskyy dismissed Vasyl Zvarych as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Poland in the first decree and appointed him head of Ukraine's diplomatic mission to Czechia in the second one.

Vasyl Zvarych was appointed as Ambassador to Poland in early February 2022.

Prior to this, he served as Director of the Foreign Ministry’s Second Territorial Department, Deputy Director of its Information Policy Department, and Minister-Counsellor at the Embassy of Ukraine in Poland.

The Ukrainian Embassy in Czechia has had no head since July 2022, when the then ambassador, Yevhen Perebyinis – now Deputy Foreign Minister – was recalled.

Czechia has repeatedly asked Ukraine to appoint an ambassador to Prague as soon as possible. In November 2023, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced that Kyiv had decided on a nominee.
