US President Special Representative Donald Trump for Ukraine and Russia, Kit Kellogg, expressed an important statement about the ways of resolving the conflict between the two countries. According to Kellog, in order for both parties to come to a peace agreement, they will have to make concessions.
“President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has already made it clear that he would soften his position on territories. And (Russian ruler Vladimir - ed.) Putin will also have to soften his position. Subsequently, we will probably discuss the discussions with everyone in the near future. And this is good for both sides, ”Kellog said in a Fox News television interview, quotes the European Bureau of Radio Liberty.
Kellogo also said that Washington wants Ukraine to hold the election, perhaps by the end of this year, especially if a truce is reached.
On February 2, the assistant of Zelensky Dmitry Lytvyn stated that the Ukrainian side has not yet seen a complete interview with Kelloga, only a few quotes about elections, so it is difficult to fully evaluate his position. "
Peace talks - what Trump offers

Also, US messenger in Ukraine Keltened earlier stated that the post -presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine should be held by the end of the year. However, the adviser to the President of Ukraine for communications Dmitry Lytvyn called this plan a failure.
