KYIV – U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker resigned on September 27 against the backdrop of the controversy in the United States around the July 25 telephone conversation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the U.S. leader’s initial decision to withhold military aid to Kyiv.
U.S. media say Ambassador Volker might have been involved in discussing the Biden case with Ukrainian authorities. He is on the list of U.S. State Department personnel whose data was requested by the House of Representatives investigating the “Ukraine case.”
