Allies of the United States anticipate that the Trump administration will unveil a long-awaited plan aimed at ending the Russo-Ukrainian conflict at the Munich Security Conference next week. Sources indicate that the Trump administration's envoy for Russian-Ukrainian affairs, Keith Kellogg, will present this blueprint to allies, though specific details have not been disclosed.
The conference will take place from February 14 to 16 in Bavaria, Germany, and Kellogg, along with other U.S. officials, has stated that the proposal will be based on the concept of "peace through strength." The plan might promote a ceasefire and offer new ideas for a long-term resolution to the conflict.
Additionally, Kellogg plans to visit Kyiv and other EU countries later this month, and is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky. Zelensky will subsequently visit several countries in the Gulf region.
The Ukrainian president's office has not commented on the Trump administration's latest move, while U.S. National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes stated that Kellogg will continue working with allies to fulfill Trump's commitments.
Kellogg has indicated that the U.S. hopes Ukraine will hold elections following the ceasefire and aims to secure rare earth resources in exchange for providing defense aid. Meanwhile, Trump has threatened that if Russia does not participate in negotiations, it will face large-scale sanctions.
