Ukraine concerned as US envoy named in Trump scandal quits 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseUkrainian politicians on Saturday expressed alarm after US special representative on Kiev affairs Kurt Volker resigned following a summons by US Congress to answer questions in an impeachment inquiry on President Donald Trump. The screened message from July 19 — a few days before Trump’s call with Zelensky — shows “Kurt Volker” offering Guiliani to schedule a call together with the adviser, Andrey Yermak. The whistleblower complaint said Volker met with senior Ukraine officials to discuss how to “navigate” Trump’s demands of Zelensky. Ukraine’s current comedian-turned-president Volodymyr Zelensky, who defeated Poroshenko in April poll, has not commented on Volker’s departure.
