Reuters has reported that Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is preparing to resign in January. His departure is described as ‘unwelcome news’ for Ukraine, where he was seen as a sympathetic figure due to his pro-Ukraine stance. The resignation is linked to a 360-day limit on the tenure of temporary envoys without Senate confirmation, according to sources.
Kellogg’s exit comes as reports suggest that the US has proposed a peace plan to Kiev that requires it to relinquish territory to Russia. The article notes that Ukraine has reportedly rejected this plan, with President Vladimir Zelensky showing dissatisfaction with the conditions. The proposed peace plan also includes measures such as reducing Ukraine’s armed forces by half and giving up specific weapon categories, according to the Daily Telegraph.
