Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia proposes a more extended timeframe than the previously stated "24 hours" for resolving the conflict.
A retired US Army lieutenant general, Keith Kellogg, expresses his desire for the Russia-Ukraine war to conclude within 100 days.
The designated special envoy for Ukraine and Russia stated that the president-elect wants the ongoing war in Europe since WWII to end immediately, as it is set to enter its third year in February.
A retired U.S. Army lieutenant general who served in Trump's first administration, Keith Kellogg, stated on "America Reports" on Wednesday that the war in Ukraine, which began after Russia launched a full-scale invasion in 2022, must end quickly.
Kellogg stated that the war has resulted in Russian, Ukrainian casualties and significant damage to their cities. He believes that Trump can put an end to the conflict in the near future.
"I am confident that he will succeed in ending the war in Ukraine and preserving their sovereignty. It is important to understand that he is not seeking to appease Putin or the Russians, but rather to ensure a fair and equitable resolution."
Trump consistently claimed on his 2024 campaign trail that he could resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict in just 24 hours.
Trump stated at a Mar-a-Lago news conference on Tuesday that he believes Putin would like to meet with him, but he thinks such a meeting would be inappropriate until he is officially sworn in as president on Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.
He stated that he wanted the fighting to end within six months.
""The war between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in a significant loss of young people, and it should have never been started," he stated."
Kellogg expressed his desire to establish a more accelerated timeline with a target of 100 days to put an end to the war.
"The president suggested setting a 100-day deadline to end the war and find a sustainable solution, emphasizing its importance for national security, vital national interests, Europe, and the globe."
In October, a senior U.S. defense official stated that Russia has experienced over 600,000 casualties since 2022, with September being the month in which their forces suffered the highest number of casualties in terms of both killed and wounded in action.
In a meeting with Trump in New York in late September, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy described the incoming U.S. president as "strong and unpredictable," and expressed hope that this unpredictability would be directed primarily towards the Russian Federation.
Since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, over 12,300 civilians, including 650 children, have been killed, according to the United Nations deputy human rights chief Nada Al-Nashif.
