Summary
Keith Kellogg, Trump’s envoy to Russia and Ukraine, has reportedly been sidelined from peace talks, raising questions about his role in negotiations.
Kellogg was absent from recent discussions in Saudi Arabia, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz led talks.
Meanwhile, Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, is set to meet with Putin, further sidelining Kellogg. While the White House denies his diminishing role, reports suggest growing internal confusion.
A proposed 30-day ceasefire awaits Russian approval as negotiations gain momentum.
Considering he’s the guy who so callously said the USA withholding aid and intelligence was “like hitting a donkey on the nose with a stick” to get its attention, I don’t think Ukraine’s lost a great ally or someone of much of value to them there.
Not that there’s anyone better in that administration.
