Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky appointed on October 18 new ambassador to Morocco, Sergiy Sayenko, according to the government’s website.

The appointment was made under the decree of the president of Ukraine NO. 724/2022, added the same source.

This move came after Ukraine’s president sacked last March Vasilieva Oksana Yuriyivna, stating, “there are those who waste their time and work only to keep their position.  Today I signed the first decree to recall the Ambassador of Ukraine to Morocco and Georgia.”

The decree was signed on March 30, recalling ambassadors to Morocco and Georgia over failure “to defend the state’s interests.”

Zelensky previously 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.”

Since the outbreak of the Russian offensive on Ukraine in late February, Morocco abstained from voting within the General Assembly in steadfast positive neutrality.

On October 12, the Kingdom joined 142 countries and voted against Russia during the 11th Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly on Ukraine in calling Russia’s annexation of Ukrainian territories “illegal.”
