NEW YORK, November 13. /TASS/. US President-elect Donald Trump plans to appoint a special envoy to hold talks on a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine, Fox News reports, citing multiple sources.

"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, adding: "You’re going to see that in short order."

According to Fox News, the job is not expected to be a salaried role; Kurt Volker served as special representative to Ukrainian negotiations on a volunteer basis in 2017-19.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said earlier that Moscow would judge Trump's stance on the Ukrainian conflict by the specific steps that he would take. She added that Russia was a self-sufficient country "that respects international law and is ready to develop mutually beneficial and trust-based relations with the entire world.".
