**Washington, Nov 28, 2024** – President-elect Donald Trump announced the appointment of retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg as a special envoy for the Ukraine conflict. Kellogg, who served as Chief of Staff for the National Security Council under Trump’s previous administration, will spearhead efforts to resolve the war.
The appointment, revealed on Truth Social, fulfills a campaign promise by Trump to swiftly end the conflict. While details remain scarce, Kellogg reportedly presented Trump with a plan involving a ceasefire at existing battle lines and subsequent negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow. This strategy was previously reported by Reuters in June.
Kellogg’s extensive military and business experience, including high-level national security roles, makes him a key figure in Trump’s efforts to address the ongoing war in Ukraine. The creation of this special envoy position is new, reflecting the incoming administration’s prioritization of a rapid resolution to the conflict.
