Kellogg calls Russia’s three-day ceasefire proposal ‘absurd’
The Hill ^ | 4/29/2025 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, President Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, called the Russian proposal for a three-day ceasefire next week “absurd” and said the U.S. wants a more lasting peace deal in Ukraine.

“A three-day ceasefire is absurd. What the president wants is a permanent, comprehensive ceasefire — sea, air, land, infrastructure — for a minimum of 30 days, and then we can extend that,” Kellogg said in a Fox News interview Tuesday.

The General needs to fade away
He’s no diplomat nor is he much of a military strategist
Or perhaps just accept Ukrainian citizenship
WTH put him on Trump’s team?

The green-shirted punk troll doesn’t want a ceasefire while he lies about wanting a ceasefire.

A 3 day ceasefire observed by both sides could save 3,000-5,000 lives and maimings given the daily rate of attrition

Mere pittance to General Kellogg

I am very pleased to nominate General Keith Kellogg to serve as Assistant to the President and Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Keith has led a distinguished Military and Business career, including serving in highly sensitive National Security roles in my first Administration. He was with me right from the beginning! Together, we will secure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, and Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN!

The Russians want a space of peace to celebrate their WW2 victory, the really don’t give a F if the West likes it or not. I am sure the Russians will fight if the Ukrainians attack them but otherwise it will be all quiet on the front lines.

Any ceasefire is absurd without a permanent solution to the problem, which absolutely requires Ukraine to give up the annexed area and end all involvement with NATO.

The only other alternative is Ukraine continuing to lose territory and lives.

Will Putin have a drone show at his “victory” parade?

"Russia - Because 11 Time Zones Just Isn’t Enough"

America - Because 750+ Military Bases Worldwide Just Isn’t Enough

Two can play that game.

Did you sign up to be one of Putin’s official drone spotters on May 9th? I hear he’s giving his government workers the day off to watch the skies for a Ukrainian drone show over Moscow.

A temporary “ceasefire” just gives both sides time to resupply.
