Kellogg: Russia is not winning this war. U.S. Special Envoy Keith Kellogg tells Fox News that Russia should have gone further into Ukraine if they were about to win the war. This rhymes with Donald Trump's earlier statement that Russia must abandon the idea of conquering all of Ukraine.
The current situation in the war means that Russia would lose more than Ukraine by not concluding a ceasefire agreement, according to Kellogg. Ukraine has already agreed to a 30-day ceasefire. "I think we're close to a deal and that the one who can deliver it is President Trump if Putin agrees," Kellogg said. See the article on SVT Nyheter.
