Former U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering Richard Grenell, the former Director of National Intelligence, for the position of special envoy to Ukraine. According to sources cited by Reuters, Grenell's potential appointment is aimed at facilitating peace in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Grenell has previously proposed a peace plan that includes the establishment of 'autonomous zones' in Ukraine and has expressed opposition to Ukraine's NATO membership. His experience includes serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany and as a special envoy for negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo during Trump's first administration, where he developed a strong understanding of European affairs.
