Trump-Envoyé: Ukraine has caused the interruption of US information itself

The special envoy of the Trump administration for Ukraine and Russia on Thursday said that Ukraine "has to attribute it itself" regarding the suspension of the secret service contacts with the United States. This admission is seen as a significant step back for Ukraine because it restricts its ability to achieve and combat Russian troops.

influence on the military skills of Ukraine

Margaret Brennan from CBS, which moderated the discussion with Keith Kellogg in the Council on Foreign Relations, commented: "This step represents a significant concession to Russia and exerts pressure on Ukraine, which may have a direct impact on its ability to act on the battlefield."

Kellogg emphasized: "Too frankly, the Ukrainians have to attribute it themselves." According to a report by CNN, the Trump administration ordered a partial suspension of secret service support on Wednesday, which helped Ukraine to defend the Russian invasion. Relations between the USA and Ukraine have deteriorated significantly, which became clear in a heated dispute in the Oval Office between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj.

consequences for the civilian population

The attitude of American military aid could have devastating consequences for the military skills of Ukraine and the civilian population in Ukrainian cities susceptible to Russian attacks. When asked what Ukraine has to do to restore the secret service contacts and the flow of military aid, Kellogg referred to the planned mineral contract between the USA and Ukraine.

"The reason why he came to the White House was to sign a document that says that we will continue - that has not yet been signed," said Kellogg about Selenskyj. "My point would be and my personal belief is that you do not advance until you have a signed document. Point."

difference between offer and action

Brennan noticed: "At least he offers publicly to do it." Kellogg replied: "There is a difference between the offer to do it and actually do it." He added that during his last visit to Kiev he said very clearly to President Selenskyj, what consequences could have a lack of a signed agreement. "I was absolutely - I was direct and clear that this could be what happens."

During the event of the Council on Foreign Relations, Kellogg said that the suspension of secret service and military support was intended as a means of moving Ukraine to act: "The best way to describe it is as if you were to get over the nose of a mulate with a wooden board to get their attention." He compared this to his two grandchildren's attempts to listen to him by packing his face and saying: "Pop pop, listen to me."

a clear message of determination

"We will end this war, and this is a way to make sure that you understand that it is serious to us," said Kellogg on Thursday. "Is it difficult? Of course it is, but it is not that you didn't know that. You got a fair warning."
