WASHINGTON, March 15 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Saturday that General Keith Kellogg's role has been narrowed from special envoy for Ukraine and Russia to only Ukraine, after Russian officials had sought to exclude him from talks aiming to end the war.

"General Kellogg, a Highly Respected Military Expert, will deal directly with President (Volodymyr Zelenskiy), and Ukrainian leadership," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "He knows them well, and they have a very good working relationship together."

Russian officials had communicated to their counterparts in the United States that they did not want Kellogg involved in top-level discussions aimed at ending the Ukraine war, sources told Reuters this week. Some high-ranking former Russian officials have complained that Kellogg was, in their view, too sympathetic to Kyiv.

Kellogg, 80, has been personally absent from some high-level discussions in recent weeks, including a meeting involving U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio with a Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

1. Obeying Russia is just what he does

2. Looks like we stopped paying attention and lost the Cold War after all

Oops.

3. Putin has his bitch on a short leash

Putin knows It is weak and is ready to cave to his demands to the detriment of Ukraine, while It simultaneously savages Zelenskyy for sabotaging Ukraine's BEST chance for peace since the Treaty of Versailles and the WWII peace treaty signing on the deck of the USS Missouri, COMBINED!

The rest of NATO is going to need to step up in our stead, while we figure out the quickest way to rid ourselves of this felonious disease with tertiary syphilis.

4. Since when does Putin get to tell Trump what to do?

Answer since 1987 when the KGB flipped Trump and gave him the code name Krasnov a
famous Russian traitor, since 2013 and Trump’s trip to Moscow and the pee pee tape, and
since Russia installed him as President in 2016 & 2024.

Russia owns him.

5. Yup, Russia owns him. Eric told us that.

8. They are trying to regroup

The most severe attacks have been point based, not consistent or ongoing - they are fighting to stay alive in the fight.
Ukraine should push forward and drive them back into their own territories.

6. Oh; of course! If Russia is offended....

Kellogg has been a tool for years. At 80 it’s long past time for him to go.

7. Puty doesn't like corn flakes.
