Looks like Mr. Lulashnyk is a good choice as Canada's next
Ambassador to Ukraine.
Yes, he certainly seems eminently qualified!
Hopefully he will take the time to investigate and clean up the mess the Embassy is in. The training of staff is abysmal, they do not know their job, they are arrogant and unprofessional to say the least
