EU makes gesture to Ukraine by changing its ambassador

EurActiv reported on 23 May 2012 that the EU's new ambassador to Kyiv would be veteran diplomat Jan Tombiński from Poland.

Ukraine did not appear to regret the departure of former EU Ambassador José Manuel Pinto Teixeira, who has been blacklisted by the country’s Foreign Ministry for making statements falling “beyond the scope of his diplomatic functions”.
