Trump Confirms Kellogg's Planned Visit to Ukraine
The US president previously stated that he would speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this week, and his special envoy Kit Kellogg will soon visit Kyiv.
The US presidential administration has paused the development of a peace plan for Ukraine to allow Europe a seat at the negotiating table.
Zelensky is expected to attend the Munich Security Conference, where the war with Russia and ways to resolve it will be key agenda items.
Envoy Kellogg had previously remarked that Ukraine should be prepared to hold elections during wartime.
