‘A Mistake of Historic Proportions’ – But America’s Former Ambassador to Ukraine Believes It’s ‘Never Over’ When It Comes to the United States

Bridget Brink resigned in April as the US Ambassador to Ukraine after concluding that she could no longer conduct the Trump administration’s policy towards that country in good conscience.
Since then, the American diplomat has decided to run for public office as a Democratic Party candidate for the US House of Representatives, representing her home state of Michigan.
I have known Bridget for 12 years, since we were both posted to Georgia in the mid-2010s. We became good friends because of our shared professional and personal interests. Now, we have resignations from our respective foreign services in common too – me over Boris Johnson’s dishonesty about Brexit, and her over Donald Trump’s policy on Ukraine.
