NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink is seriously weighing whether to step down from her role and leave the foreign service in the coming weeks, said a U.S. official and two other people familiar with the matter, a move that would inject new uncertainty into the relationship between Washington and Kyiv.

Brink was nominated for the post by former President Joe Biden and has been serving as ambassador in Kyiv since May 2022. She would be leaving on her own accord, the sources said.
