The US Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, has expressed confidence that the Ukrainian conflict will end soon.

“I'm very, very positive about what he [US President Donald Trump] is going to do with this [conflict] (…). And I absolutely believe and trust him that this war is going to come to a conclusion in the near term,” Kellogg said on Fox News on Tuesday.

Also, the US presidential special envoy slammed preceding US President Joe Biden’s reluctance to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“And what happened with the last administration under President [Joe] Biden? He didn't even talk to people. (…). He didn’t talk to [North Korean leader] Kim Jong Un for four years, he didn't talk to [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin for over two and a half years. President Trump reaches out right away. He knows he has to talk to anybody out there who is going to be involved in [the] deal-making," Kellogg noted.
