Victoria Nuland has worked in various government positions for over 30 years. During the mass protests on the Maidan in Kyiv, as an official representative of the US State Department, she regularly visited Ukraine, personally communicated with protesters and even treated them to buns and cookies.
In 2019, Nuland was denied entry to Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry called it a response to personal anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the United States.
