Details: Kellogg wrote that it is a great honor for him to be appointed to the post of assistant to the president (Trump – ed.) and special representative for Ukraine and Russia.
Direct speech Kellogg: “Working for President Trump has been the privilege of my life, and I look forward to working tirelessly to bring peace through strength while advocating for America’s interests.
I am ready for it with all the dedication and dedication it deserves.”
What preceded: Trump appointed Kellogg as his “special representative for Ukraine and Russia”.
For reference: A retired lieutenant general and veteran of the U.S. Vietnam War, Kellogg joined Trump’s team as a national security adviser in Vice President Mike Pence’s office.
He defended Trump’s call to Volodymyr Zelenskyi in 2019, privately called on Pence to reject the approval of votes in the 2020 presidential election, and when the former vice president publicly renounced Trump, he condemned his actions.
Kellogg currently works at the pro-Trump think tank America First Policy Institute, where he has put forward various proposals for what the incoming Trump administration’s national security policy might look like.
Kellogg was also involved in drafting a proposal for a “peace plan” for Ukraine, which was presented this summer.
According to this plan, Trump can stop the supply of military aid to Ukraine if it refuses peace talks, and Moscow will be warned that any refusal to negotiate will lead to increased support for Kyiv. The peace talks themselves should lead to the actual freezing of the contact line.
Kellogg also proposed punishing NATO member states that spend less than 2% of GDP on defense by removing their collective defense guarantees under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty.
