Trump’s Representative Vows to End Ukraine War in 100 Days; Plans "Acceptable" Solution for Zelensky and Putin
In an interview with Fox News, cited by Focus, Keith Kellogg, the special representative of newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump, stated that he will find a way to end the war in Ukraine within 100 days of Trump’s inauguration on January 20. Kellogg’s remarks come as Trump and his administration prepare to take office, with the Ukraine crisis remaining a critical global concern.
Kellogg acknowledged that Trump faces a tight timeline to resolve the conflict but expressed confidence in the new president’s commitment to preserving Ukraine’s sovereignty. "People must understand that Donald Trump is not giving in to Putin or the Russians; he’s trying to save Ukraine’s sovereignty," Kellogg maintained.
The Trump administration’s approach to the Ukraine conflict remains uncertain, with varying signals sent by the president-elect and his team. On January 7, Trump suggested that he hoped the war would end within six months during a press conference. However, former Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S., Valery Chaliy, clarified that Trump’s statement was in response to a question about a potential meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, not the war’s end.
During the same press conference, Trump stated that he could "understand" Russia’s position on Ukraine’s NATO membership and blamed the Biden administration for provoking Russia’s invasion. When asked about Ukraine’s NATO aspirations, Trump reaffirmed that his stance has always been clear.
Meanwhile, Reuters reports that Putin is open to discussing a ceasefire with Trump but rejects significant territorial concessions and insists that Ukraine abandon its NATO ambitions. As the world awaits Trump’s policy on Ukraine, stakeholders and observers alike remain attentive to any developments that may shape the future of the conflict.
