"We also see that President Trump's special envoy, General Kellogg, is also determined to bring a just end to the war. We welcome this commitment of General Kellogg," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi, commenting on Kellogg's statement about his intention to find a solution to end the war in Ukraine within the first 100 days after his inauguration.
The Foreign Ministry spokesperson also emphasized that they expect General Kellogg to visit Ukraine after Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20.
"We continue to prepare for the visit, it will take place. And I think it would be true to say that there are no political reasons why this visit will take place after the inauguration. The only reasons why the visit will take place after the inauguration after January 20 are purely legal reasons. There is an important piece of legislation in American law called the Logan Act, which requires all visits to take place after the president takes office," Tychy said.
"Then we will be able to assess what are the ways to achieve this goal, how we can work together to achieve a just and sustainable peace again," the Foreign Ministry spokesman emphasized.
