An old Russia hand waits in the wings as Pascual packs his bagsKyiv Post

State Department
John Herbst is likely to be the next U.S. ambassador to Kyiv
The Carlos Pascual era at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv will soon come to an end, though official sources at the embassy have refused to be more specific about his departure date than “sometime this summer.”
Pascual is generally regarded as having done an outstanding job under very trying circumstances. Though embassy staffers are genuinely fond of him, he does have a reputation for being a workaholic and expecting the same from staff. One former staff member recalls spending one of the early Christmas Days of Pascual’s tenure at her computer with Pascual himself working nearby.
The Pascual tenure bridged the gap between the heady days of Bill Clinton gladhanding adoring throngs in Mykhailivska Square and the frosty visit of the Russo‑centric Condoleezza Rice lecturing the Ukrainian president about his alleged shortcomings.
New name to remember: John Edward Herbst
No one will tell you this officially yet, but it has become increasingly clear in recent weeks that Pascual’s replacement here is to be a classic old Russia hand.
His name is John Edward Herbst and he is currently finishing a term as ambassador to Uzbekistan, which began officially on October 5, 2000.
Herbst belongs to the State Department elite, known as the Senior Foreign Service and carries the official rank of Minister‑Counselor.
Washington insiders were reluctant to talk about the Herbst appointment before it has been officially confirmed by the White House. Those who would talk off the record were unanimous in their praise of Herbst as a State Department professional who has served with distinction, shuffling between assignments in Washington, the former Soviet Union and the Middle East.
Prior to his Tashkent appointment, Herbst served a three‑year assignment as the U.S. consul general in Jerusalem. Previously, he served as the principal deputy to the ambassador at large for the Newly Independent States; director of the Office of Independent States and Commonwealth Affairs; and director of regional affairs in the Near East Bureau. Herbst has also worked overseas in embassies in Tel Aviv, Moscow and Riyadh.
Herbst was born in Rockville Center, New York, in 1952. He received a bachelor of science in foreign service from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in 1974 and a master of arts in law and diplomacy from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in 1978. He joined the Foreign Service in 1979. He is fluent in Russian and has a working knowledge of Arabic.
There is no confirmation of any proficiency in the Ukrainian language, but it is likely he will be working on that before taking up his post in Kyiv.
