Trump nominates former national security adviser as special envoy for Ukraine and Russia

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Keith Kellogg, a former national security adviser and retired lieutenant general in the U.S. military, to be special envoy to Ukraine and Russia in his second administration, the BBC writes.

Kellogg is likely to be at the center of negotiations to end the ongoing war in Ukraine, should Russia and Ukraine agree to take part.

To remind, Trump has promised to stop the war on his first day back in office—though he has not provided any details on how he plans to do that.

Kellogg has advocated for tough negotiations with Russia and Ukraine in order to bring the war to an end.
