"An FT review of Brink’s posts on X before and after Trump took office on January 20 showed a clear shift in her public statements, particularly in relation to Russia.
In the 75 days prior to Trump’s inauguration, she posted critically of Russia and the war in Ukraine 53 times. In the 75 days after, she posted just five times with mentions of Russia, none of which placed blame on the country for its attacks."
Looks like a bit of a Trumpist.
"Tensions between Brink and Zelenskyy have been evident recently. He issued a statement critical of the ambassador last week after a Russian missile attack on his hometown of Kryvyi Rih that killed 20 people, including nine children.
Following the attack, Brink wrote on X: “Horrified that tonight a ballistic missile struck near a playground and restaurant in Kryvyi Rih. More than 50 people injured and 16 killed, including 6 children. This is why the war must end.”
Zelenskyy noted the absence of any direct attribution of blame for the attack by Brink, and said on Telegram: “Unfortunately, the reaction of the American Embassy is unpleasantly surprising: such a strong country, such a strong people — and such a weak reaction. Also, they are afraid to say the word ‘Russian’ when talking about the missile that killed children.”

But perhaps the strain of trumpeting the Trump line got too much for her.
