US Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker is scheduled to arrive in Kyiv on Sept. 13. Ahead of his visit, Volker, a former ambassador to NATO, briefed DW on his ongoing efforts to resolve a stalemate in the negotiations with Russia.
DW: Ambassador Volker, some believe that a new round of sanctions is looming for Russia as a result of the latest developments in the Skripal case, with four allies backing the UK’s findings on the Kremlin’s role in the poisoning of the former Russian intelligence agent and his daughter. Could that have an impact on your mission?
