Trump may soon appoint special envoy for peace in Ukraine - Fox News

"You’re going to see a very senior special envoy, someone with a lot of credibility, who will be given a task to find a resolution, to get to a peace settlement," the news agency quotes an unnamed source.

The source clarified that the appointment will happen "in short order."

At the same time, Fox News claims that this position will be unpaid — Kurt Volker served as the US State Department's special representative for Ukraine from 2017 to 2019 on a voluntary basis.
