Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky fired the country’s ambassador to Kazakhstan, Petr Vrublevsky, who previously got into a scandal over words about the Russians, APA reports citing RIA Novosti.
The related decree was published on the official website of the head of state.
Previously, a video had been released on social networks in which Vrublevsky claimed that the Ukrainian regime was trying to kill as many Russians as possible. Subsequently, the diplomat was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, where he protested.
Later it became known that Vrublevsky left Nur-Sultan at the request of the authorities.
