MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On July 7, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has appointed former Permanent Representative to NATO Volker as Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations to coordinate the efforts of the State Department to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
On July 9, Volker arrived in Ukraine, where he held a number of meetings, including with a representative of Kiev in the contact group on Donbass, Leonid Kuchma.
"This possibility is not ruled out, but we must understand the habits of the new representative. We will see. We are always positively disposed," Karasin said.
Volker and Ukrainian officials decided upon the steps that would provide a new impetus to the implementation of the Minsk agreements earlier this month.
