Trump tasks war hero ‘Special K’ to end Ukraine war in 100 DAYS & stop Putin in tracks after Don’s stark warning to Vlad
Share:
DONALD Trump has tasked longtime war hero pal Keith Kellogg with ending the war in Ukraine in just 100 days. Decorated war veteran Kellogg, 80, is hoping to finally stop Vladimir Putin in his tracks with help from the new President after Don's stark threats to Russia in recent days.

Trump lashed out at the despot and warned he will apply a sling of damaging sanctions on Moscow if they refuse to come to the negotiating table soon. The Republican stalwart has already said he isn't afraid of crippling Russia with financial ruin as he branded Putin's war "ridiculous".

The threats are believed to ramp up the pressure on Putin to make a deal despite the pair reportedly yet to speak about a ceasefire. Trump is expected to stay on top of the negotiations after he initially claimed it would only take him days to end the conflict.

But Trump has now tasked Kellogg with finding a solution and said he has 100 days to do so. Ex-Lieutenant General Kellogg became America's new special envoy for Ukraine on Monday. The military man served his country for 36 years before going into politics and is now expected to advise the peace negotiations in 2025.

Kellogg has been a key figure alongside Trump for almost a decade after he was appointed as a chief of staff on the Republican's highly sensitive National Security role during his first term in office. The veteran's return will see him speak to both Kyiv and Moscow as he searches for solutions which suits Trump and his Nato allies.
