The former US Army General tapped to be Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine and Russia warned last week 'we're on the precipice of World War III' as he outlined a plan to end the war by forcing both sides to the negotiating table.
Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, 80, told Fox News of the precarious geopolitical circumstances after Vladimir Putin launched a never-before-seen hypersonic missile on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.

'When you look at what's happening... with an alliance that President Trump kept apart. You know, he had North Korea over here, he had China over here, he had Iran here and Russia over here.
'What you've seen now is they've all joined. You've got an axis together, and they're feeding off one another.'

The retired general advocated for pushing Ukraine into ceasefire negotiations by threatening to pull US aid, while simultaneously telling Moscow that Washington would boost support to Kyiv should Putin not agree to a diplomatic solution.
Under Kellogg's plan, Ukraine would have to cede a considerable chunk of occupied territory to Russia and agree with Western countries not to attempt to join NATO for an extended period of time.
In return, the US would help Ukraine to develop a 'long-term security architecture' to reinforce its defensive capabilities for the future - and levies would be placed on Russian energy sales to pay for Ukraine's reconstruction.

No? The Ukraine government isn’t (well, except for the Crimea), but you posted this map. Why? To stir up nationalist hatred for Russians is my bet. This is America, we don’t deal in ethnic or religious hatred here. Keep it in your own country.
Crimea was recognized by Russia as a part of Ukraine that Putin pledged to respect when Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal. That being said, if you look at my history of posting on Ukraine, you would see that I have always maintained that Crimea was the one region that Russia had some legitimate claims.
Why did I post the map? To counter Governor Dinwiddie's false claim that the Donbas was traditionally Russian territory.
This is America, we don’t deal in ethnic or religious hatred here. Keep it in your own country.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I am born and bred American. Except for the three years that I lived in Germany while serving in the US Army, I have always lived in the US. Nor do I have any ethnic connections with Ukraine.
“Sorry to disappoint you, but I am born and bred American. Except for the three years that I lived in Germany while serving in the US Army, I have always lived in the US. Nor do I have any ethnic connections with Ukraine.”
So you say. Then why are you stirring up ethnic hatreds here? That’s downright un-American.
Ethnic hatred? I am not the one sending in an army to conquer another country in the name of my ethnic group. You should address your remarks to Putin.
The usual smarty retort from a warmongering Uke nationalist. I got a hot flash for you pal, the Yanks aren’t coming.
Wars of aggression ? Any war then .
The war in Ukraine is at the direction of the money changers
The Ukrainians are commodities , x , that are to be spent so that the money changers can make money .
The money men don’t care who dies or where the fighting is , as long as they have their claws into it , they and their ilk roll in gold wealth power
Good day for a war isn’t it ? Running low on Ukrainians!
Joe Biden tells Ukraine to send their 18 year olds to die .
Senator Lindsey Graham admits the US war against Russia in Ukraine is about profits.
And what would you have the Ukrainians do, surrender and submit to Russian domination? Would you do that?
