(Bloomberg) -- Ambassador Bridget Brink is the front-runner as President Joe Biden's choice for ambassador to Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the choice that would put in place a career diplomat with broad experience in Eastern Europe as tensions between Kyiv and Moscow soar.
Brink is currently the U.S. ambassador to Slovakia, a role she's held since July 2019. She's previously served on the National Security Council and at U.S. outposts in Serbia, Uzbekistan and Georgia, among others.
The decision isn't final, but White House officials have told people privately that Biden intends to nominate her, according to the people.
White House officials didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Biden's interest in naming Brink was reported earlier by CNN.
