Trump Taps Kellogg as Ukraine-Russia Envoy, Signaling Shift in U.S. Policy
President-elect Donald Trump nominates retired General Keith Kellogg to lead peace efforts, proposing a controversial plan to freeze battle lines and push negotiations.
- Donald Trump has nominated retired General Keith Kellogg as special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, emphasizing 'peace through strength' as a guiding principle.
- Kellogg's proposed peace plan includes freezing current battle lines, pressuring Ukraine and Russia to negotiate, and conditioning U.S. military aid on Kyiv's participation in talks.
- The plan also suggests halting Ukraine's NATO membership prospects, a move intended to incentivize Russia to engage in negotiations but likely to face resistance from Kyiv.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Trump as 'intelligent' and expressed optimism about the incoming administration's approach to ending the war.
- Analysts warn Kellogg's approach could embolden Russia and strain Western unity, with concerns over potential exploitation of ceasefires by Moscow to consolidate gains.
