Exclusion of Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg from U.S.-Russia-Ukraine peace talks
President Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, was excluded from high-level talks on ending the war after the Kremlin objected to his involvement. Despite being a Trump loyalist, Kellogg was deemed too pro-Ukraine by Russian officials. The exclusion raised questions about Kellogg's role in the negotiations and his relationship with Russia. Trump has since engaged in negotiations with Putin through other officials, aiming to bring peace to the region.
