Former U.S. Special Envoy Keele Kellogg confirmed that he plans to visit Kyiv. He made this statement at the Black Sea Security Forum, emphasizing his commitment to supporting Ukraine.

"I would like to be with the Ukrainians right now, but unfortunately, it is not possible. I plan to be in Kyiv at the end of summer and hope that we can meet," Kellogg noted.

In his speech, he expressed gratitude to the Ukrainian people for their resilience and contribution to strengthening the partnership with the United States. Kellogg also reminded that Russia will not win the war and called on Moscow to sit down at the negotiating table, pointing out that since 2014, Ukraine has lost only about 1% of its territory.

Previously, Kellogg criticized NATO for its stance on Iran, calling the Alliance "cowardly," and proposed creating a new defense system in which Ukraine would become one of the key partners. He also compared Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Donald Trump, noting their determination and straightforwardness.

Kellogg has repeatedly emphasized that he personally visited the front lines and knows the situation well from the inside. His words about a possible visit to Kyiv are causing widespread resonance and are seen as an important signal of support for the Ukrainian side.
