Munich, February 15, 2025: U.S. Special Envoy for the war in Ukraine, General Keith Kellogg, stated that Europe should not be directly involved in negotiations led by the United States to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Kellogg cited the unsuccessful Minsk II process, mediated by Germany and France, as a reason for this stance.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb responded, asserting that discussions about Ukraine's future and European security structures cannot occur without European involvement.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his desire for Kellogg to visit the front lines in eastern Ukraine to gain a better understanding of the situation. He hopes Kellogg will convey this understanding to President Trump.
