Trump Appoints Kellogg as Ukraine Peace Envoy, Advocates Non-NATO Peace Deal

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Keith Kellogg as his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, a decision seen as reasonable by Ukrainian analysts. Kellogg, a retired lieutenant general, has proposed a peace plan that includes freezing the front line in Ukraine, delaying NATO accession, and partially lifting sanctions on Russia. His approach emphasizes negotiating from a position of strength, with continued U.S. military aid and security guarantees for Ukraine. While Kellogg's nomination is viewed positively compared to other Trump picks, it remains uncertain how his proposals will align with Trump's policies or be received by Russia.
