Special Envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, visited Kyiv to listen to concerns following President Trump’s criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump blamed Ukraine for starting the war during a surprise press conference after US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia without Ukrainian involvement. Zelensky emphasized the need for fair efforts to end the war involving European countries. Russia and the US agreed to establish negotiation teams for peace. Despite Trump’s push for Zelensky to hold elections, his approval rating, according to KIIS, has never dropped below 50%. Trump’s comments have raised concerns among European leaders about potential concessions to Russia at Ukraine’s expense. Macron suggested Trump could engage in useful dialogue with Putin. Kellogg’s visit to Kyiv coincided with Russian strikes in Odesa, leaving many without power. Trukhanov confirmed four injuries, including a child, due to the attack. EU diplomats agreed on new sanctions against Russia to be formally adopted on the third anniversary of the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia has been targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for the past three years. Kellogg’s mission is to understand Kyiv’s concerns about security guarantees as part of ongoing efforts to bring peace to the region.
