US Special Envoy Plans to Discuss Ukraine Peace at Munich Conference
The US special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, plans to attend the Munich Security Conference next week. He will discuss ending the war in Ukraine.
Kellogg said he looks forward to speaking about President Trump‘s goal to end the bloody and costly war in Ukraine. He also mentioned that he will meet with America’s allies who are ready to work with us.
President Trump recently said that Washington is leading very constructive talks on Ukraine and that his administration is in touch with both Kyiv and Moscow. However, neither Trump nor Kellogg provided details on how they plan to broker an end to the war.
Kellogg, a retired general, will visit Ukraine later this month for talks with Ukrainian officials. He is expected to discuss Trump’s strategy in the Russia-Ukraine war.
There are concerns that Trump might reduce assistance or cut a deal unfavorable to Kyiv due to his past criticism of Biden’s support for Ukraine and his open sympathies for the Russian leader.
Trump has been largely evasive on whether he intends to continue providing military support to Ukraine. He recently suggested that Kyiv could secure continued assistance in exchange for the country’s rare earths.
The US briefly halted security aid to Kyiv before restarting it again for unclear reasons. Kellogg claimed that Trump has a reliable plan to end the war, which involves pressuring both Moscow and Kyiv while offering positive initiatives for both.
Vice President JD Vance will also attend the Munich conference, scheduled for February 14-16.
