President-elect Donald Trump is considering tapping Richard Grenell, his former intelligence chief, to be a special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to four sources familiar with the transition plans.
Grenell, who served as Trump's ambassador to Germany and was acting director of national intelligence during Trump's 2017-2021 term, would play a key role in Trump's efforts to halt the war if he is ultimately selected for the post.
While there is currently no special envoy dedicated solely to resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump is considering creating the role, according to the four sources, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

During a Bloomberg roundtable in July, he advocated for the creation of "autonomous zones" as a means of settling the conflict, which began after Russia invaded Ukrainian sovereign territory. He also suggested he would not be in favor of Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the immediate future, a position he shares with many Trump allies.

Grenell has been true MAGA through and through from day 1, and lovely personality.

Yes, but he still needs prayer to be delivered from homosexuality.

From a Christian perspective, everyone regardless of sexuality needs to repent and trust Christ.
And from a political perspective, professing Christians like Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, and Nikki Haley proved to be disappointments as vessels for MAGA go. Hopefully John Thune won’t be.

Maria Zakharova (July 2024):
“An aide to former US President Donald Trump, Richard Grenell, proposed the creation of autonomous zones in Ukraine.
Where were you, Rick, when the Minsk agreements dedicated to exactly this were on the international community’s table, and Russia was doing everything possible in support of them and calling for a search for a form of federalization of Ukraine to preserve its integrity?
Then you were the US ambassador in Berlin and called on the Germans to abandon the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, grossly interfering in the internal affairs of Russia and Germany.
Now the Germans are without gas and the economy, and the Ukrainians are without a country and a stable future.”
