Trump Envoy Pauses Ukraine Peace Efforts to Engage European Allies

[Social Media]

 

President Donald Trump's special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, has temporarily halted work on a proposed peace plan to engage in discussions with European allies. Kellogg intends to hold individual meetings with NATO members to gauge their perspectives on the peace process and understand what they are willing to contribute, as reported by The Telegraph.

 

Kellogg’s discussions with NATO allies are aimed at easing concerns that major global powers could be sidelined in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. European nations have previously discussed their roles in shaping a resolution to the ongoing three-year war. Notably, the United Kingdom and France have explored the possibility of deploying a peacekeeping force to Ukraine as part of the negotiations.

 

The special envoy confirmed he would be engaging in talks with "prime ministers and presidents" from NATO countries and that elements of the proposed peace plan would be unveiled at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, scheduled for February 14-16. According to The Telegraph, one significant aspect of the plan involves continued U.S. support for Ukraine in exchange for access to Kyiv’s rare earth minerals—an agreement Trump has frequently discussed in recent months. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has previously expressed openness to negotiating a deal with Trump on these resources.

 

Despite earlier reports suggesting Kellogg would present parts of the peace plan at the Munich conference, he has denied such claims. Instead, he stated that Trump himself would reveal the plan, though he did not specify a timeline, according to Radio Free Europe. Meanwhile, European allies who have engaged with Kellogg have reportedly been reassured that the U.S. remains committed to strengthening Ukraine ahead of potential negotiations with Russia.

 

Trump previously asserted that he could bring an end to the Ukraine war "within 24 hours." His special envoy later clarified that the goal was to conclude the conflict within 100 days of Trump’s potential inauguration on January 20.

 

As part of the ongoing diplomatic efforts, Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone on Friday and suggested that he might meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky in Washington next week. Zelensky is also scheduled to meet with Vice President JD Vance and Kellogg at the Munich Security Conference. Additionally, Bloomberg has reported that the peace plan may include freezing the conflict, leaving Russian-occupied territory in an uncertain status, and providing Ukraine with security guarantees.

Trump as referee for the Russia - Ukraine conflict ?
My question : if you have an aggressive neighbour who tried to take your house completely but failed...would you accept a third party referee to decide if you have to cede your kitchen or your bathroom?
Let us not forget that the "historical peace deal" negotiated in 1938 by UK prime minister Chamberlain
At Munich, Chamberlain got an international agreement that Hitler should have the Sudetenland in exchange for Germany making no further demands for land in Europe. Chamberlain said it was 'Peace for our time'.
