US special envoy Keith Kellogg has officially stated that Europe will not have a role in the ongoing peace talks regarding the Ukraine-Russia conflict. This confirmation comes as tensions remain high and discussions between US and Ukrainian officials take precedence. Kellogg outlined potential pressure strategies for Russia and mentioned that Ukraine may have to consider territorial concessions without formal recognition by the US. The US is set to mediate the negotiations, urging direct talks between President Zelenskyy and President Putin, while leaving European nations sidelined in the peace process.
