MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President-elect Donald Trump is considering picking his former intelligence chief Richard Grenell as a special envoy for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Reuters reported citing sources familiar with the transition plans.
According to the report, Grenell, who earlier was the ambassador to Germany and acting national intelligence director during Trump's 2017-2021 term, could play a key role in the incoming US administration's efforts to end the conflict if he is selected for the post.
It said Trump is considering the possibility of creating a new position of a special envoy for the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. However, the final decision on the position has not been made yet, and Grenell is only one of the possible candidates for the post.
Earlier, Trump said he would be able to achieve a settlement of the Ukrainian conflict through talks in one day. Russia says this is too complex a problem for such a simple solution.
