US President-elect Donald Trump is set to appoint a special envoy for Ukraine.
The special envoy will be tasked with achieving a peace agreement.
This was reported by the American television channel Fox News, citing sources.
Who will Trump appoint as special envoy to Ukraine?
According to the TV channel’s sources, the position of special envoy to Ukraine will be filled by a very experienced and respected person.
Who will be tasked with achieving a peace agreement, Fox News reports.
The position will be unpaid, like that of Kurt Volker, who was special envoy for Ukraine in 2017-19.
According to the Ukrainian publication Zerkalo Nedeli, the main candidate for the post of special envoy to Ukraine is the vice chairman of Cerberus Capital Management, adjunct professor at the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University, Brian Hook.
Last week, the American publication The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, reported that Trump's team is preparing a new plan to end the Ukrainian conflict.
According to the publication, the new plan of the Trump team envisages freezing the conflict along the front line with the creation of a demilitarized zone.
The plan also envisages Ukraine's refusal to join the North Atlantic Alliance for at least 20 years in exchange for arms supplies to prevent a resumption of the conflict.
