Ukraine sacks ambassador to Kazakhstan over outrageous comments against Russia
Ukraine in a decree published on the presidential website, announced the removal of its ambassador to Kazakhstan, following his outrageous statements about Russia, which precipitated condemnation from the Russian government.
Russia’s foreign ministry had requested Kazakhstan to expel Petro Vrublevsky after his interview where he made comments about “killing” Russians. Though, the ambassador had later apologised for the utterances but that could not save his job.
It was gathered that Astana had disclosed communicating the “unacceptability” of Vrublevsky’s statement to Ukraine and an agreement was reached for his recall.
It was said that the decree published by Ukraine’s presidency on Tuesday evening did not specify the reason for the sacking of the ambassador and did not appoint a replacement.
