On Saturday, Trump’s Ukraine special envoy Keith Kellogg said European leaders would not be involved in peace talks, amid concern from Kyiv and its supporters about whether Ukraine would be involved on an equal footing with Russia.
“It may be like chalk on the blackboard. It may grate a little bit, but I am telling you something that is really quite honest,” Kellogg told the Munich summit.
And to my European friends, I would say: ‘Get into the debate, not by complaining that you might, yes or no, be at the table, but by coming up with concrete proposals, ideas, ramp up [defence] spending.’”
