In the OP, the postponement of the visit of the special representative of Trump to Kyiv was called a “positive signal”

Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the President’s Office, called the postponement of the visit of Donald Trump’s special representative for Russia and Ukraine Keith Kellogg to Kyiv a “positive signal”.

According to him, this shows that Trump’s transition administration is immersing itself in the information provided by intelligence and analytical centers and “more vividly imagines what kind of war it is, what solutions there can be, what solutions can really be implemented.”

“This is a positive signal absolutely, because it indicates that the transitional administration of Mr. Trump already has a deep understanding of the nature of this war, a deep understanding of the motives of the Russian Federation, a deep understanding that if you ask Russia for something, it will respond adequately – it is impossible , and that we really need to look for tools of significant influence on the Russian Federation,” Podolyak said on the air of the telethon on January 7.

The day before, the Reuters agency, citing its own sources, reported that Kellogg postponed his trip to Kyiv and other European capitals until after Trump’s inauguration, which will take place on January 20. It is noted that Kellogg’s negotiations with the leaders of Ukraine and Russia, which were initially planned to be held in early January, “would contradict the so-called “Logan Act” of 1799, which prohibits unauthorized American citizens from negotiating with foreign official officials on matters of national interest for the United States.”

On January 7, Minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiga announced that Keith Kellogg’s visit to Kyiv would take place “in due course.”

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that “the parties are working on determining the time frame of the visit and filling it with maximum content.”

During the election campaign, Trump repeatedly said that he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, but so far he has made little progress in this direction. At the same time, trying to quickly defuse the conflict remains a key priority of his new administration.
