Fox News reports on Trump's plans to appoint a high-ranking special envoy for peace talks on Ukraine. The position will be unpaid, as it was during the time of Kurt Volker in 2017-2019.

It is expected that Donald Trump, who won the US election, will soon select a Ukrainian peace envoy to lead negotiations to end the war with Russia. This is reported by  Fox News, citing sources, UNN reports. 

"You will see a very high-ranking special envoy, a person of great credibility, who will be given the task of finding a solution, of reaching a peaceful settlement. You will see it soon," one of the sources said.
