The President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, who claimed to be able to end the fight between Zelensky and Putin in just 24 hours, already has a strategy for this purpose. Exactly, it is the one proposed by Keith Kellog, retired lieutenant general who has just been appointed special envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Specifically, consists of freezing the facades as they are and the two countries sit down to negotiate. Ukraine would thus lose the regions occupied by Russia.
The plan is not new, in fact it has been on the table for months, it is included in the report “America first, Russia and Ukraine later”, written by Kellog himself and with which they intend to condition the supply of weapons to kyiv on Zelensky’s acceptance to negotiate. Basically, it leaves you no choice.
Trump has never denied his intention to end the conflict, but The solution he proposes is his style, radical, and very similar to the one he proposed during his first term to end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The Democrat said in a statement that the lieutenant general “He was with me from the beginning! Together, we will achieve peace through strength and we will ensure that “America and the world are safe again.”
This series of measures once again demonstrates the change in model and style that will occur as soon as Trump takes his seat in the White House. While Biden was the main standard-bearer for unlimited supplies and funds for Ukrainethe first thing Trump will do is cut him off and force a negotiation.
However, the plan is not yet in place and it remains to be seen how Putin will react to this offer. The Russian president is visiting Kazakhstan, where he promised to help the former Soviet republic build its first nuclear power plant.
