Donald Trump's envoy Keith Kellogg implied that both Ukraine and Russia would need to make concessions to end the war, suggesting Ukraine might give up territory occupied by Russia. His comments come amid rising tensions as Ukraine's President Zelenskyy considers softening his stance. However, Zelenskyy's communications advisor dismissed Kellogg's approach as insufficient. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer underscored the importance of increasing economic pressure on Russia to facilitate peace, asserting that Trump's sanctions have unsettled Putin, and this could put Ukraine in a stronger negotiating position for any forthcoming peace deal.
Keith Kellogg stated, 'both sides will give a little bit,' implying that land concessions by Ukraine might be necessary to achieve peace.
Dmytro Lytvyn called Kellogg's suggestions of a ceasefire and elections a 'failed plan,' underlining that Putin will require more than this to be swayed.
Keir Starmer emphasized that Trump's sanctions have rattled Putin, highlighting the need for Europe to ramp up efforts to economically weaken Russia.
Starmer noted, 'it's important to ensure Ukraine is in the strongest possible position,' to facilitate a peace deal through strength.
