Keith Kellogg, the incoming special envoy to Ukraine for President-elect Trump, has expressed a sense of urgency in addressing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In an interview with Fox News, Kellogg stated that he is committed to finding a resolution to the Russian war in Ukraine within the first 100 days of the new administration, starting on Inauguration Day.
Kellogg emphasized Trump's desire to end the conflict in Ukraine, referring to it as 'carnage' that the President-elect is determined to address. He highlighted Trump's willingness to engage with both adversaries and allies, contrasting this approach with what he described as a lack of engagement by President Biden with Russian President Putin.
Regarding Trump's previous statements about acquiring Greenland and the Panama Canal, Kellogg characterized them as examples of the President-elect thinking creatively and positioning the United States as a global leader. He suggested that Trump's unconventional ideas are aimed at fostering engagement and strategic leadership on the world stage.
Looking ahead to the transition of power on January 20th, Kellogg expressed optimism about the potential for progress in addressing the conflict in Ukraine. He underscored the importance of diplomatic engagement and dialogue in resolving the crisis, indicating that the new administration will prioritize efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution.
As Kellogg assumes his role as special envoy to Ukraine, he is poised to play a key role in shaping the administration's approach to the conflict and advancing Trump's goal of ending the war in Ukraine. With a focus on swift action and diplomatic engagement, Kellogg's tenure as special envoy is expected to be marked by efforts to bring about a resolution to the longstanding conflict in the region.
