Vladimir Putin and his entourage have been spouting belligerent rhetoric, openly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/lseih\/2020\/07\/01\/there-is-no-ukraine-fact-checking-the-kremlins-version-of-ukrainian-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calling into question<\/a>&nbsp;Ukraine\u2019s continued right to exist. Moscow has resorted&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticcouncil.org\/blogs\/ukrainealert\/the-2008-russo-georgian-war-putins-green-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to military action against its neighbors<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/energy\/why-russia-ukraine-tensions-are-so-hard-to-defuse\/2021\/12\/30\/fbdccb56-696c-11ec-9390-eae241f4c8b1_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">including Ukraine<\/a>, before. Yet the results this time could be even more catastrophic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given this dire situation, one might assume that having a Senate-confirmed U.S. ambassador on the ground in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, would be useful. But there is no U.S. ambassador in Ukraine, nor is there any indication of when one might be arriving. This failure is not the responsibility of the Senate, which&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2021\/11\/23\/with-hundreds-nominees-confirm-senate-doesnt-deserve-thanksgiving-break\/?itid=lk_inline_manual_5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has been slow in confirming<\/a>&nbsp;a slew of nominees of the Biden administration. No, in this case the Biden administration has only itself to blame. So far the president hasn\u2019t even managed to nominate someone for the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Failing to arrange for an ambassador in Kyiv is not just a bad way to conduct foreign policy. It also indicates the administration\u2019s disrespect \u2013 however unintentional \u2013 for Ukraine. That country already endured enough during the final two years of the Trump administration. It was expecting better from the Biden administration, especially given Biden\u2019s familiarity with the country. When he served as vice president during the Obama era, one of his duties included serving as the administration\u2019s point person to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last Senate-confirmed ambassador in Kyiv was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2019\/11\/15\/who-is-marie-yovanovitch-why-does-her-public-testimony-matter\/?itid=lk_inline_manual_9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marie Yovanovitch<\/a>, a highly respected career Foreign Service officer. She, readers might recall, was unceremoniously and unfairly removed by then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at White House insistence, egged on by President Donald Trump\u2019s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani as part of the politicization of U.S.-Ukrainian relations that led to Trump\u2019s first impeachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was in the spring of 2019. William Taylor, who had once served with distinction as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine during the George W. Bush administration, was soon afterward asked to return to Kyiv and temporarily fill the vacancy until his departure seven months later. Kristina Kvien has done a most admirable job leading the embassy as deputy chief of mission during a very challenging time, but she is not the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine \u2013 i.e., the chosen representative of the president, confirmed by the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After almost one year in office, the Biden administration has nominated dozens of ambassadors and people for senior positions at the State Department. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) blocked confirmation of many of these individuals \u2013 mostly due to Cruz\u2019s unhappiness with the administration\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/russia-pipeline-us-sanctions\/2021\/05\/19\/26bbb86a-b8aa-11eb-bb84-6b92dedcd8ed_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decision in May not to sanction the Nord Stream 2 pipeline<\/a>\u00a0running from Russia to Germany and Hawley\u2019s displeasure with the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. In December, Cruz\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/12\/18\/cruz-vote-russian-pipeline-sanctions-schumer-525334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">finally struck a deal<\/a>\u00a0with Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer that allowed 32 nominees to gain Senate approval \u2013 a welcome step forward. But the post in Kyiv remains empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The administration has been unusually slow in selecting candidates for national security positions requiring Senate confirmation. Those who are nominated often face sluggish action in the Senate. Such delays have triggered&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americansecurityproject.org\/press-release-asp-urges-senate-action-on-stalled-diplomatic-and-foreign-policy-nominees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a stream of criticism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of Ukraine, however, the Senate is not to blame \u2013 the White House bears full responsibility. The State Department has not sought agreement from the Ukrainian government, the initial step in securing the host country\u2019s assent to the intended nominee. Among the names apparently being considered by the White House is a career Foreign Service officer who is currently an ambassador elsewhere. That means the person already has been vetted and approved by the Senate for the person\u2019s current posting and would likely gain quick approval if ever nominated for the Kyiv position. The White House delay in settling on a nominee is simply inexcusable at this point in the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/press-briefings\/2021\/12\/30\/background-press-call-on-president-bidens-call-with-president-putin-of-the-russian-federation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">readout<\/a>\u00a0following Biden\u2019s most recent phone call with Putin on Dec. 30, a senior administration official noted the extensive contacts the United States has had with European counterparts at the presidential and ministerial levels. \u201cOur newly confirmed ambassadors to both NATO and the OSCE have begun active outreach to their counterparts,\u201d the official added. Notice that no such outreach was mentioned for Ukraine \u2013 because there is no ambassador in place there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahead of the various negotiations the administration has agreed to with Russia, it should start the new year with the announcement of the nominee to be ambassador to Ukraine. The Senate, in turn, should act quickly on that nominee so that the United States is properly represented in Kyiv and returns the U.S.-Ukraine relationship to a sense of normalcy. Further delays will harm U.S. national security interests and damage U.S.-Ukraine relations even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By\u00a0David J. Kramer and John E.
