Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sacked Vadym Prystaiko, his country’s ambassador to the UK. Prystaiko had recently criticised the president’s response to a row over gratitude for British military aid. Kyiv gave no official reason for the dismissal but confirmed that Prystaiko was no longer ambassador. He was speaking at the Nato summit after Zelensky criticised the military alliance for delays in making Ukraine a member. Zelensky has fired ambassadors before, dismissing five at once a year ago in what was seen as a reshuffle.
