WASHINGTON (Reuters) - All parties to the Minsk agreement to end fighting in Ukraine want to cooperate with the United States, and Washington is considering appointing an envoy to the negotiations, a senior U.S. State Department official said on Wednesday.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who is due to visit Ukraine next week, said last month the United States should not be "handcuffed" to the 2015 Minsk agreement in case the parties decide to reach its goals through a different deal.
