Trump chooses retired general to serve as Ukraine-Russia envoy
Donald Trump has chosen a retired three-star general to serve as his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Keith Kellogg has long been Trump’s top adviser on defense issues, having served as national security adviser to former Vice President Pence and chief of staff of the National Security Council. He will step into the role as special envoy as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters its third year in February. Trump has criticized the billions of dollars the Biden administration has spent in supporting Ukraine, and Kellogg has said bringing the war to a close “will require strong, America First leadership.”
