U.S. President Donald Trump has streamlined retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg's role, designating him as the special envoy to Ukraine—a move aimed at deepening diplomatic efforts amid ongoing regional tensions. 🎯
Announcing the shift on Truth Social, Trump praised Kellogg's expertise, saying the 80-year-old veteran will work directly with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team. 🗣️ The decision comes weeks after Kellogg’s absence from recent Ukraine-Russia peace talks in Saudi Arabia raised eyebrows among analysts.
✨ Why it matters: Kellogg brings decades of national security experience, having served as Mike Pence's advisor and a key Trump administration figure. His tighter focus on Ukraine signals renewed U.S. engagement as global eyes remain fixed on the conflict.
📅 What’s next? Observers are watching whether Kellogg’s “good working relationship” with Ukrainian leaders, per Trump, can translate into tangible progress. Stay tuned for updates!
