U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt will work in Kyiv for at least a couple more months.

"I cannot say how long I will stay in Ukraine, I can promise that in the next two months I will definitely still be in Ukraine," Pyatt said, addressing to U.S. Peace Corps volunteers at the ceremony of oath in Ukraine.

U.S. President Barack Obama intends to appoint Marie Yovanovitch new Ambassador to Ukraine, the press service of the White House stated.

In turn, the president put forward the incumbent head of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, for the post of U.S. Ambassador to Greece.

Yovanovitch now holds the post of Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs. Earlier she held the post of Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine (2001-2004).
