基辅电——美国官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻证实,美国驻乌克兰临时代办朱莉·戴维斯将于6月离任。
美国官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,戴维斯在基辅任职已近一年,期间美国对乌克兰政策经历了多次突然转变,她辞职是出于职业原因,而非与特朗普总统存在任何分歧。
《金融时报》最先报道了她即将离任的消息,称此次离任是因为她与特朗普先生存在“分歧”。
“所谓戴维斯大使‘因与唐纳德·特朗普存在分歧’辞职的说法是虚假的,”美国国务院发言人汤米·皮戈特周二对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示。“她在职业外交官岗位上履职30年,功绩卓著,即将退休。在2026年6月正式离开基辅并从国务院退休之前,她将继续自豪地推进特朗普总统的政策。”
一位与戴维斯关系密切的美国高级官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,她决定辞职是因为看不到在国务院实现其职业抱负的发展路径,而有关她与特朗普先生存在分歧的报道“并不属实”。
2025年5月5日,在前美国驻乌克兰大使布里奇特·布林克辞职后,戴维斯接任美国驻基辅大使馆临时代办一职。布林克是民主党人,目前正在密歇根州第七国会选区竞选议员,她在辞职后发表的一篇专栏文章中写道,她“无法再本着诚意执行本届政府的政策,认为自己有责任辞职”。
在担任基辅临时代办期间,戴维斯仍兼任自2023年起担任的美国驻塞浦路斯大使一职,一边履行临时战时外交职务,一边兼顾此前的外交职责。
“朱莉·戴维斯非常专业:她致力于美国的利益和价值观、自由世界,以及作为自由世界一部分的乌克兰,”多年来一直认识戴维斯的前美国驻波兰大使丹尼尔·弗里德说道。
戴维斯任职期间,基辅大使馆经历了美国对乌克兰政策不断波动的时期,特朗普的特使史蒂夫·威科夫和贾里德·库什纳常常牵头开展外交工作,而非职业外交官。
去年11月,戴维斯原本计划在陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔首次访问基辅期间,在大使官邸接待他。但德里斯科尔抵达后,特朗普政府向乌克兰施压,要求其接受由威科夫与俄罗斯谈判代表会晤拟定的和平方案。
该方案因莫斯科拒绝接受相关条款而告吹,但此后威科夫和库什纳继续牵头美国外交努力以结束这场战争。
今年2月,美国官员促成了两场与乌克兰和俄罗斯谈判代表的三边峰会,乌克兰官员向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,这是战争以来成果最丰硕的外交会谈。但此后,由于美国与伊朗持续爆发冲突,外交进程陷入停滞。
美乌谈判代表上一次会晤是在3月22日。
Acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Julie Davis stepping down, but officials deny reports of dispute with Trump

Kyiv — Acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Julie Davis will leave her post in June, U.S. officials have confirmed to CBS News.
U.S. officials told CBS News that Davis, who has held the post in Kyiv for almost a year, during a period of abrupt shifts in American policy on Ukraine, is resigning for professional reasons rather than over any disagreements with President Trump.
The Financial Times first reported her imminent departure, saying it came in response to “differences” she had with Mr. Trump.
“It is false to suggest Ambassador Davis is resigning ‘over differences with Donald Trump,’” State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott told CBS News on Tuesday. “She is retiring after a distinguished 30-year tenure as a career foreign service officer. She will continue to proudly advance President Trump’s policies until she officially departs Kyiv in June 2026 and retires from the Department.”
A senior U.S. official close to Davis told CBS News that she decided to resign as she did not see a path forward in the State Department consistent with her professional ambitions, and that reports of disagreements with Mr. Trump were “inaccurate.”
Davis assumed her role as interim chargé d’affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv on May 5, 2025, following the resignation of former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink. Brink, a Democrat now running for Congress in Michigan’s 7th District, wrote in an op-ed after stepping down that she “could no longer in good faith carry out the administration’s policy and felt it was my duty to step down.”
While serving as chargé d’affaires in Kyiv, Davis remained accredited as U.S. ambassador to Cyprus, where she has served since 2023, juggling her interim wartime posting with her previous diplomatic obligations.
“Julie Davis is a pro: devoted to U.S. interests and values, to the Free World, and to Ukraine as part of the Free World,” said Daniel Fried, former U.S. Ambassador to Poland, who has known Davis for years.
Davis ushered the embassy in Kyiv through a period of fluctuating U.S. policy on Ukraine, with Mr. Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner often taking the lead in diplomatic efforts instead of career diplomats.
In November, Davis was set to host Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll at the ambassador’s residence during his first visit to Kyiv. But upon his arrival, the Trump administration pressed Ukraine to accept a peace proposal shaped by meetings between Witkoff and Russian negotiators.
That proposal fell through after Moscow refused to accept the terms, but Witkoff and Kushner have continued to lead American diplomatic efforts to end the war since.
In February, American officials mediated two trilateral summits with Ukrainian and Russian negotiators, which Ukrainian officials told CBS News were the most productive diplomatic sessions of the war. But diplomacy has since stalled amid the U.S.’ ongoing war with Iran.
The last meeting between American and Ukrainian negotiators took place on March 22.
