President-elect Donald Trump has chosen retired three-star general Keith Kellogg as his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Kellogg, a key adviser on defense issues, will work towards peace and security in the region as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues. Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, emphasizing the goal of securing peace through strength. Kellogg’s appointment comes as the Biden administration provides significant security assistance to Ukraine, with the aim of increasing the country’s military capabilities.
Kellogg, as co-chairman of the America First Policy Institute’s Center for American Security, has been instrumental in developing a national security agenda for the incoming administration. His focus includes ending the Russia-Ukraine war through strong leadership. Kellogg’s role will involve navigating the complex dynamics of the conflict, with a priority on achieving a peaceful resolution.
Despite his involvement in controversial events, such as the 2019 call between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, Kellogg is respected for his dedication to defending the country. His appointment reflects Trump’s commitment to addressing the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and Russia.
