President-elect Donald Trump is expected to soon appoint a Ukrainian peace envoy to lead negotiations on ending the war with Russia, multiple sources told Fox News Digital.
"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," one of the sources said.
"You’re going to see that in short order."
The job is not expected to be a salaried role - from 2017 to 2019, Kurt Volker had served as special representative to Ukrainian negotiations on a volunteer basis.

How much do you want to bet to a future Freep-a-thon that Russia keeps every inch of territory it has liberated?
The people in those areas DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF UKRIANE AGAIN? What about that don't you understand?

You're crazy if you think Trump isn't ending this war ASAP by cutting funding off for it.
Zelensky already offered neutrality but you always ignore that. And Putin rejected it because this was never about NATO, but about his desire for Ukrainian land and to be able to dominate Ukraine. This is brought out even more since Putin is not just satisfied with what he now has, but is demanding that Ukraine withdraw from even more land before he is ready to even start negotiations.
Ukraine, after many centuries, has freed itself from Russian domination and will not accept it again. Let that sink into your head.
Because it is not true. With the exception of Crimea, those regions are majority Ukrainian, not Russian. Those fake referenda that Russia conducted are not worth the paper they were written on. There is a reason that Russian blocked the referendum that, in accordance with the Minsk Agreements, Ukraine was preparing to conduct in Donbas.
There was no "Deep State coup." The Ukrainian people rose up against Yanukovych after he betrayed them and was attempting to had Ukraine over to Russia. The CIA is not this all-powerful boogeyman that could motivate such crowds.
As for the offensive into Donetsk and Luhansk, I do not think that Trump would have objected to Ukraine reestablishing its control over its territory that had been seized by Russia. Ukraine was not attacking another country but trying to drive out a foreign occupation and reestablish its proper sovereign control.

It was a classic color revolution by the CIA.
The people of Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea ALL, overwhelmingly, voted for Yanukovych. They were under no obligation to remain part of a government formed illegally.
And, they aren't going back to being part of Ukraine.
Ukraine either lets the annexed territory go or Ukraine will cease to exist.
But Poroshenko and Zelensky were elected constitutionally, so your argument fails.
But let's drop the pretense. The "people" of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea did not separate from Ukraine. Rather, small bands of Russian backed militants seized the territories. And given Putin's track record with elections, portraying this as a defense of democracy is laughable.
What vice president hooker doink?
Is he still fantasizing about how The Putin will “just go home”?
It is to laugh.
Without the participation of Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea.
The elections your cite never applied to the oblasts. And, now, they are part of the Russian Federation and will never be part of Ukraine again. Deal with that fact.
Who gives a hoot? The vast majority voted for Yanukovych and refused to be part of a government formed illegally.
They sought their independence and, then, voted to join the Russian Federation.
Nothing will change that.
Whether you like it or don't like it, start learning to live with that fact.
What are you are babbling about?
There never has been anything neutral about the Zelensky government. It's been a NATO puppet state hostile to Russia. And, it was absolutely a national security threat to Russia.
Because they were under Russian military occupation. Otherwise they could have participated in the elections. If not for the Russians, all of this could have been resolved peacefully. Only time will tell what will be their future; not wishful thinking by either you or me.
The succeeding governments were chosen by legal elections. That Crimea and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk did not participate was not of their choice; it was imposed upon them by the Russian military.
They sought their independence and, then, voted to join the Russian Federation.
The 2014 referenda, as illegal as they were, were for autonomy within Ukraine, not independence or union with Russia. Only a dishonest person would defend the 2022 referenda. They were as bogus as a North Korean election, which is the only type that Putin could organize.
