Retired General Keith Kellogg named Special envoy to Russia/Ukraine

Trump selects retired Gen. Keith Kellogg as special envoy to Russia, Ukraine

Donald Trump on Wednesday said he will nominate retired General Keith Kellogg to serve as Assistant to the President and Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia.

"Keith has led a distinguished Military and Business career, including serving in highly sensitive National Security roles in my first Administration. He was with me right from the beginning! Together, we will secure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, and Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN!," Trump said in a statement announcing his decision.

During Trump’s first administration, Kellogg served as Chief of Staff and executive secretary to the National Security Council. He previously served in the military for over 35 years.

Kellogg in April co-authored a policy paper, obtained by NBC News, outlining how he'd seek to end the war in Ukraine, including potentially conditioning U.S. military aid to Kyiv on their participation in peace talks with Russia.
