Trump Reassigns Kellogg to Ukraine Envoy Role Following Russian Objections

President Trump narrows General Keith Kellogg's diplomatic role to focus solely on Ukraine after Moscow's complaints about his perceived pro-Ukraine stance.

General Keith Kellogg, previously the U.S. special envoy for both Ukraine and Russia, will now exclusively serve as the special envoy to Ukraine.
The decision follows reported pressure from Russian officials, who criticized Kellogg as being too sympathetic to Kyiv in ongoing peace negotiations.
Kellogg has been notably absent from recent high-level diplomatic talks, including ceasefire discussions in Saudi Arabia, where U.S. and Ukrainian officials reached a tentative 30-day ceasefire agreement rejected by Russia.
President Trump announced the reassignment on Truth Social, emphasizing Kellogg's strong relationship with Ukrainian leadership, including President Zelensky.
The move highlights tensions in U.S. foreign policy as Trump faces criticism for appearing to accommodate Russian demands while navigating a complex path to peace in the Ukraine conflict.
