This is reported by the Wall Street Journal.
According to the publication, Kellogg, like some other special envoys of Trump, was appointed despite lacking relevant experience. Former colleagues of Kellogg state that his previous military experience might be significant for the Republican.
However, Kellogg has never worked as a diplomat, so it is likely that he will not participate in any real negotiations with Russia.
In Moscow, there has been no expressed interest in collaborating with Kellogg, WSJ continues. However, the Kremlin suggests that mutual understanding between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin could lead to improved relations between the USA and Russia.
Recall that previously, Kit Kellogg had already stated that he aims to find a solution regarding the war within 100 days from Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20.
On November 27, 2024, Donald Trump appointed 80-year-old retired General Kit Kellogg as special envoy concerning the war in Ukraine.
Media outlets described the details of a plan proposed by Kellogg to end the war in Ukraine. In particular, he suggested a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine along the current front lines. To encourage Ukraine to commence negotiations, it should only continue to receive military aid if it agrees to sit at the negotiation table.
Additionally, the plan discusses postponing Ukraine's membership in the Alliance, while Kyiv should reclaim occupied territories using only diplomatic means. Meanwhile, sanctions against Russia could be lifted if it signs a peace agreement acceptable to Ukraine.
