In addition to Tochitsky, the ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Vsevolod Chentsov, as well as ambassadors to Iraq, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia were dismissed.
The only post where, together with the release of the ambassador, the appointment of a new one was promptly carried out – the head of the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Office and other international organizations in Geneva. On it, Yuri Klimenko was changed by Evgeny Filipenko.
