Bridget Brink Confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine 
------------------------------------------------------

For the first time in three years, the United States has an ambassador
to Ukraine. On Wednesday, the Senate confirmed Bridget Brink by a
unanimous voice vote without a formal roll call. The post has been
vacant since then-President Trump forced Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch
out of the role in 2019, as Trump sought to pressure Ukraine's
government into providing dirt on Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
