U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv on Monday, saying officials are “working very, very hard” to bring the three-year war with Russia to a close. Kellogg told reporters that Washington, together with European partners, is drafting a package of security guarantees designed to strengthen Ukraine’s long-term defenses and deter any future Russian invasion. He described the initiative as a “work in progress,” underscoring that concrete terms have yet to be finalized. Zelenskiy welcomed the discussions, calling the U.S. readiness to participate in Ukraine’s security architecture a “valued” commitment. The envoy’s visit follows a recent uptick in high-level diplomacy, including trips to Kyiv by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and German Vice-Chancellor Lars Klingbeil, as allies seek to sustain momentum behind a potential peace settlement.
