Anthony J. Blinken addresses the contributions of Victoria Nuland

The news of Victoria Nuland retiring as the Under Secretary of State has been making rounds globally. As mentioned, Anthony J. Blinken confirmed the same on the U.S. Department of State website and said:

"Toria's tenure caps three and a half decades of remarkable public service under Six Presidents and ten Secretaries of State. Starting with her very first posting as a consular officer in Guangzhou, China, Toria's had most of the jobs in this Department."

Blinken compared Victoria Nuland to an encyclopedia since she had the knowledge of everything and praised her work as a diplomat. He stated that Nuland always fought for freedom, democracy, human rights, and America's ability to promote the same.

Anthony recalled how Victoria was perfect as the Acting Deputy Secretary of State and contributed to "broadening and strengthening America's alliances and partnerships across Europe and the Indo-Pacific." He continued:

"Her efforts have been indispensable to confronting Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, marshaling a global coalition to ensure his strategic failure, and helping Ukraine work toward the day when it will be able to stand strongly on its own feet – democratically, economically, and militarily."

Blinken ended by saying that Nuland was a mentor for America's diplomats and their families. He further stated that she was always there for people when they needed her the most.
