Washington, September 28
Kurt Volker, Donald Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, has resigned following the release of a whistleblower complaint that alleged the US President’s inappropriate interactions with his Ukrainian counterpart.
The State Press, a student-run newspaper published by the Arizona State University (ASU), reported that Volker, Executive director of the McCain Institute for International Leadership at the ASU, informed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of his decision on Friday, Xinhua news agency reported.
Volker’s post as special envoy since 2017 was a part-time, unpaid job to help resolve the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, according to The New York Times. — IANS
