This will benefit not only Ukraine but also the American defense industry, said the retired lieutenant general.
While noting that arming Ukraine is still "an important part" of achieving peace, Kellogg said there are "other parts that are just as important, and I think the president understands that.
"You have all these options, and you want to present the president of the United States with several options so we can choose which one he wants," he told Fox News.
"But I think we've always talked about it-we've talked about it repeatedly-about using frozen Russian assets for this, for buying American weapons," he continued.
"It's one piece of the puzzle that needs to be discussed, and it will be on the table with the president to discuss it, but it's not the piece that should solve the problem," he said.
