President Trump and his allies describe the former ambassador to Ukraine as a rogue figure with a political bias against him. But former colleagues describe Marie Yovanovitch as diligent, principled and never openly political.
FILE - In this March 6, 2019 file photo, then U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, center, sits during her meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Kiev, Ukraine.
She is “a top-notch diplomat, careful, meticulous, whip smart,” and unlikely to have badmouthed Trump, either to Ukrainian officials or her colleagues, said John Herbst, a predecessor as ambassador in Ukraine who worked alongside Yovanovitch there in the early 2000s. Currently a State Department fellow at Georgetown’s Institute for the Study of Diplomacy, Yovanovitch did not respond to emails seeking comment. The institute’s director, Barbara Bodine, said the former envoy was declining all requests to speak with reporters.
Yovanovitch attended Princeton University, where she majored in history and Russian studies. She joined the Foreign Service six years later, working as deputy director of the Russian desk before being posted to Canada, Russia, Great Britain and Somalia.
