US President Donald Trump has appointed retired US Army General Keith Kellogg as his special envoy to Ukraine, with a focus on negotiating an end to fighting between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists.
General Kellogg’s plan involves freezing the battle lines, allowing for negotiations between Ukrainian officials and their Russian counterparts. However, some critics argue that this approach may give Russia control over eastern Ukraine, potentially undermining Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
The move has also sparked debate among Republicans, with some expressing concerns about providing further aid to Ukraine amidst rising tensions with Russia. Trump’s decision on US involvement in the conflict remains uncertain at this point.
