Donald Trump has called on a retired general to be his Ukraine war envoy, which he hopes will lead to peace between the country and Vladimir Putin’s Russia after nearly three years of war. Getting the nod is the 80-year-old Keith Kellogg, who co-authored a paper in April that called for the U.S. to use military aid as leverage to push peace talks with the Kremlin. Kellogg, a Vietnam war veteran, served in Trump’s first term as VP Mike Pence’s national security adviser. He’d reportedly been in talks with Trump at Mar-a-Lago this week about returning to work in the White House. A trio of sources told Reuters that Kellogg personally presented Trump with a plan to end the war in Ukraine, but did not specify if that plan was the same as what he previously proposed in his research paper. “Keith has led a distinguished Military and Business career, including serving in highly sensitive National Security roles in my first Administration,” Trump wrote in his announcement. “He was with me right from the beginning! Together, we will secure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, and Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN!”
