What is known about Keith Kellogg
Retired US Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg held senior positions in the Trump administration in 2017-2021. In particular, he served as Chief of Staff to the National Security Council and National Security Advisor to Vice President Mike Pence.
According to Reuters, Kellogg had earlier proposed his own plan to end the war in Ukraine, which stipulates that the supply of US weapons to Kyiv will continue only if Ukraine agrees to peace talks with Russia.
At the same time, the United States is ready to warn Moscow of the consequences of refusing to negotiate, including increased support for Kyiv.
The newspaper adds that the plan envisages removing the issue of Ukraine's membership in NATO from the agenda for the near future.
Currently, Kellogg works for the pro-Trump America First Policy Institute, where he has put forward various proposals for the national security policy of the future Trump administration.
