The diplomat has already commented on his appointment on Facebook:

Served as Minister-Counselor of the Ukrainian Embassy in Russia and Ambassador-at-Large. From 2015 to 2017, he worked as the Ambassador of Ukraine to Kyrgyzstan, after which he returned to serve in the central office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The previous Ambassador of Ukraine Yuriy Savchenko completed an eight-year mission in Uzbekistan in March 2019. Since that time, the Ukrainian diplomatic mission was headed by the temporary attorney Denis Pogrebnoy.
Recall that a meeting of the Uzbek-Ukrainian intergovernmental commission was scheduled for April 9-10 in Tashkent, the first in the last 12 years. In addition, the parties were working on the resumption of air traffic, which was terminated back in 2015.
The preparation of intergovernmental events was influenced by the coronavirus pandemic. Both countries have completely stopped air traffic and introduced a self-isolation regime.
