NEW YORK, May 1. /TASS/. The United States keeps the option of mediation on the table while resolving the conflict in Ukraine, United States Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg said in a Fox News intervew.

When asked whether Washington has rejected the idea of mediation, he replied: "I don't think so."

According to a Financial Times (FT) report, Kiev and its European allies fear that Washington may withdraw from negotiations on Ukrainian conflict settlement as early as this week. A European official was quoted as saying that Trump was "setting up a situation where he gives himself excuses to walk away and leave it to Ukraine and us [Europe] to fix."

On April 24, Trump told reporters that he may raise the issue of potentially ending US involvement in Ukraine peace efforts and military assistance to Kiev within two weeks. However, he expressed hope that a deal could still be reached.
