US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed retired lieutenant general and author of the plan to end the war, Keith Kellogg, as a special envoy for peace in Ukraine.
Donald Trump announced this on the Truth Social social network, Liga.net reports.
‘I am pleased to nominate General Keith Kellogg to be Assistant to the President and Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia,’ Trump wrote.
The future US president also added that Kellogg has had a ‘distinguished career in the military and business, including serving in very important national security positions in my first administration’.
‘Together, we will secure peace through strength and make America and the world safe again,’ Trump concluded.
Keith Kellogg is a retired lieutenant general who served as chief of staff to the White House National Security Council in 2017-2021 and national security adviser to then-Vice President Mike Pence.
Kellogg's plan to end the war stipulates that Ukraine will receive more US weapons only if it agrees to peace talks with Russia. The US will also warn Russia that if it refuses to negotiate, Washington will increase its support for Kyiv. The plan also proposes to freeze the contact lines at their previous positions, an idea that both sides have rejected.
