US president Donald Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine and Russia has arrived in Kyiv, a senior Ukrainian official said, as anticipation grew over possible changes in the Trump administration’s policies on the more than three-year war.

Mr Trump teased last week that he would make a “major statement” on Russia on Monday.
