According to Kellog, the reasons for changing the US approach are human losses in this war; the need to restart relations with Russia to ensure US national interests; The need to stop the US involvement in “unnecessary proxy”.
“So what we see now and what we will see is the immediate efforts of Trump’s administration to plant two sides at the table to achieve a peaceful settlement,” Kellog said, adding that the administration will press on two sides.
Speaking of pressure on Russia, he mentioned current sanctions against the “shadow fleet” of the Russian Federation, which transports Russian oil.
Kellogo also said that the withdrawal of Russian frozen assets for the restoration of Ukraine and the maximum pressure on Russian energy are one of the tools that Trump can use for pressure on the Russian Federation.
Kellogo also said that the quarrel between Vladimir Zelensky and Donald Trump last week in the White House happened because of the “different goals” of two leaders in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
We will remind, on March 4 it became known that Trump decided to suspend all military assistance to Ukraine, including the one that was already on the road.
On March 5, it became known that the exchange of intelligence, including those concerning the launches of Russian rockets, also stopped.
