Putin is the Primary Obstacle to Peace, Says Former U.S. Envoy Keith Kellogg.

Keith Kellogg's Remarks on the War in Ukraine

According to TSN.ua: During a discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, former U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine General Keith Kellogg expressed hope that the war between Russia and Ukraine could be halted before summer. Kellogg identified Russian President Vladimir Putin, not Ukraine, as the principal barrier to ending the conflict. This assessment comes as Western allies continue to debate the level and nature of military aid required for Ukraine's defense.

The General pointed to the significant losses Russia has sustained, including the deaths of more than twenty generals. Kellogg suggested that if Kyiv can endure January and February and move into March and April, the advantage will shift to Ukraine's side. Also at the forum, former U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the situation in Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of continued international support.

Kellogg's comments indicate a hope for positive change in the conflict, which may depend on internal circumstances within Russia. Given the military losses Russia has suffered, it is plausible this could influence the Kremlin's strategy regarding Ukraine. The international support mentioned by Trump may also play a crucial role in shaping subsequent steps in the peace process.
