Keith Kellogg, Donald Trump's proposed special envoy to Ukraine, has expressed confidence that President-elect Trump could end the ongoing war in Ukraine within months. Kellogg suggested that Trump might facilitate direct talks in Washington between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He emphasized Trump's unique ability to resolve the conflict, stating that 'the only person who can do that is President Donald J. Trump.' Kellogg also mentioned that he is planning a fact-finding mission to either Ukraine or Russia in the near term, aiming to gather insights from both sides without violating the Logan Act. Despite optimism about Trump's decisive leadership, there is skepticism regarding his claim to resolve the war in 24 hours.
