Trump’s Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg arrives in Kyiv for 3-day visit

Part of my mission is to sit and listen … go back to the United States, talk to President Trump, Secretary Rubio, and the rest of the team, just to ensure that we get this one right,

Kellogg said

Volodymyr Zelenskyypresident

I really want him to tell President Trump everything. … After that, I will be ready to discuss these steps with President Trump,

Zelensky said in comments reported by independent news outlet Ukrainska Pravda

As a result of a massive enemy strike on a densely populated area of the city, there is no electricity, water, and heating in a large part of the residential quarters,

Gennadiy Trukhanov said on Telegram

We understand the need for security guarantees ... Part of my mission is to sit and listen and say: what are your concerns

Kellogg said in a video posted by Ukraine's Suspilne news outlet

Marflorida

Today I heard, 'oh, well, we weren't invited.' Well, you've been there for three years ... You should have never started it. You could have made a deal,

Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida

It's been a long time since we've had an election,

said Trump

At least 160,000 Odesa residents are now without heat and electricity,

he said

We may or may not like Zelensky. We can scold him or we can praise him. We can condemn his actions or applaud them. Because he is OUR President,

he said

It will give us a chance to have good substantial talks,

Kellogg said,

Financially and militarily, Europe has brought more to the table than anyone else. And we will step up,

von der Leyen wrote on X after meeting Kellogg in Brussels

We want to partner with the U.S. to deliver a just and lasting peace for Ukraine,

she said in a post on the X social media platform after meeting Kellogg in Brussels

The policy has always been that you take no options off the table

Kellogg told reporters after his meeting with European NATO allies

They've been saying that for years, that Ukraine cannot go into NATO, and I'm OK with that,

Trump said

I wouldn't be surprised if global issues are brought up,

he added, pointing to potential efforts to break up Russia's ties with Iran, North Korea and China

I don't think it's reasonable or feasible to have everybody sitting at the table,

he said

You get the feeling right now that both sides kind of want to tap out,

he said

I think what is brought into those discussions are unknowns,

he said
