Ukraine’s ambassador to Morocco is set to leave her position next week after being sacked by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelesky for failure to Ukraine’s interests in Morocco, sources told Hespress.
The same source said the Ukrainian diplomat no longer has any capacity within her country’s embassy in Morocco. A charge d’affaires will replace her.
The source stressed that the Moroccan-Ukrainian relations will not be affected by the change of positions.
Zelensky signed decrees on March 30, recalling ambassadors from Morocco and Georgia.
Zelensky said in a video message that “the diplomats did not do enough to get arms for Ukraine or get these countries to institute sanctions against Russia.”
“There are those who work so that Ukraine can defend itself and fight for its future and there are those who waste their time clinging to their posts,” he said in a video speech relaid on social media, adding that he signed “a first decree to recall such a person, the ambassador to Morocco.”
The Moroccan government has refused to take any “radical” stances against Russia and has prevented sending volunteers to Ukraine.
Morocco has for long maintained friendly diplomatic relations with both Ukraine and Russia, in addition to strong economic, cooperation agreements. The Kingdom’s position has been repeatedly reiterated many times by its most high-ranking officials, a position that “respects the territorial integrity of all UN member states, and strongly condemns violence, encouraging dialogue.”
