Gen. Keith Kellogg, the incoming envoy to Ukraine and Russia in the Donald Trump administration, said Christmas should be a time of peace, but Ukraine was brutally attacked. “The United States is more determined than ever to ensure peace in the region,” he added.
Gen. Keith Kellogg wrote in an op-ed on Platform X: “Christmas should be a time of peace, but Ukraine was brutally attacked on Christmas Day. Missile and drone attacks on the Lord's birthday are wrong.”
“The world is closely monitoring the actions of both sides. The United States is more determined than ever to ensure peace in the region,” he noted.
An adviser to the president-elect, who was chosen by him to be his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, has commented on Wednesday's Christmas Day attack by Russia using 70 different types of missiles on energy infrastructure, including thermal power plants. did

Like Trump, he wants to end the war
Kellogg is a longtime adviser to Trump. The general's mission will be to fulfill one of the main promises of the new presidential election, that is, to end the war in Ukraine. Even before he was appointed to his new post, he advocated a ceasefire, security guarantees for Ukraine, and at least a temporary withdrawal from NATO.

In a pre-Christmas interview with Fox News, the general said that peace in Ukraine is Trump's number one foreign policy priority and that the goal is lasting peace. He also announced that this would happen in a “relatively short period of time”. Kellogg, like Trump, believes that European countries should take more responsibility for security issues on the continent, but is in favor of further cooperation on this issue.
