Keith Kellogg, the Trump administration’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, said in an interview on Friday that a negotiated deal to end the war between the two nations could be reached within months.
Speaking on Fox News, Kellogg, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant general, said he has "great confidence" that President Donald Trump will lead efforts to secure a settlement. "He’s a deal maker, he's going to make it happen," Kellogg said, emphasizing that the administration views resolving the conflict as a key international security priority.
Trump and Kellogg have both indicated that the White House is developing a strategy to broker a ceasefire within the first months of the administration. While the plan is still evolving, no formal policy decisions have been announced.
According to sources familiar with internal discussions, the administration is exploring pushing Ukraine to hold elections as part of an initial truce with Russia. However, officials have not provided details on how such a proposal would be implemented or whether Moscow has signaled any willingness to negotiate under these conditions.
Kellogg described the peace effort as "short-term" and dismissed the idea of a prolonged negotiation process, comparing it to the four-year-long withdrawal from Afghanistan. "It's not a cottage industry. It has to be something short-term for both nations. Not just for them, but for the United States and the world as well," he said.
Trump officials have yet to outline a concrete timeline or release a full diplomatic framework for ending the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War Two.
