Biden administration’s assistance to Ukraine will give Trump more opportunities to implement his plans, - Kellogg
Keith Kellogg, whom Donald Trump has chosen as his special representative to resolve Russia's war against Ukraine, praises the Biden administration's efforts to help Ukraine.
According to Censor.NET, citing Interfax-Ukraine, he said this on Fox News.
"It's really very good for the president-elect because it gives him a lever, he can decide what he wants to do. And the more the Biden administration does that, the more opportunities there are for the president-elect to do what he wants to do," he explained.
Kellogg recalled Zelenskyy and Trump's conversation "that after a thousand days of war, they are signalling that it is time to end this war".
"This war has been going on for a thousand days. It has expanded. It is now global in nature. What I mean by global is that you see that it involves the North Koreans, who have provided troops, the Iranians, the Chinese, the Russians. So the composition of the war has expanded during this time. We're sort of putting it back in the box, not just for American security, but for global security. So I have no problem with what they've done," he said.
Kellogg said that Trump "understands this and plans to use it to his advantage".
According to him, "it's a big mistake to underestimate Trump."
"He understands that he has international obligations and things that he has to do, and Ukraine is one of them. So I wouldn't say what he plans to do, because it's a decision for the president to make. We will just try to fulfil it. I am just a representative and someone who will do what he wants. So it will be difficult to say what he wants, but we will figure it out as the case progresses," he concluded.
US aid to Ukraine
On Monday, 2 December, the United States of America has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine worth $725 million.
Earlier it was reported that Keith Kellogg proposes to partially ease sanctions against Russia in exchange for an agreement to cease fire, freeze the front line and introduce a demilitarised zone in Ukraine. If Russia signs a peace agreement, sanctions will be lifted altogether.
