Trump Appoints Kellogg as US Envoy to Ukraine and Russia
🎦 00:28-03:02⏩
Jonathan announces that retired General Keith Kellogg has been appointed as the US special envoy for Ukraine. Jonathan outlines Kellogg's proposed peace plan, which would involve:
- Freezing combat lines.
- Pressuring both Ukraine and Russia to negotiate.
- Threatening to withhold aid from Ukraine if they refuse to negotiate.
- Threatening to increase military support to Ukraine if Russia refuses.
Jonathan highlights potential problems with this approach:
- It may be more advantageous to Russia at this time.
- It lacks a contingency plan if both sides refuse to negotiate, which is the most likely scenario.
- It forces Ukraine to negotiate under duress.

He shares Kellogg's view that Putin's recent missile launch, while not militarily effective, was a psychological tactic to test the West's resolve. Jonathan finds Kellogg's perspective insightful, particularly his emphasis on the interconnectedness of global conflicts and his assertion that Putin is a rational actor, albeit one making decisions based on flawed assumptions. Jonathan commends Kellogg's statement on Fox News that the US should have provided Ukraine with long-range weapons a year ago, viewing it as a direct challenge to the interviewers' expectations.
