arbitrators in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday for the first time since Trump blindsided allies by accepting introduce peace efforts with Russian
counterpart Vladimir Putin.Kellogg stated United States authorities were engaged in parallel efforts to bring Moscow and Kyiv to the
negotiating table with him spearheading the outreach to Ukraine.Trumps envoy firmly insisted that it would eventually be up to Zelensky to
decide if Ukraine accepts any offer that the United States leader brokers
The choice by Ukrainians is a Ukrainian decision, Kellogg informed reporters after talks with United States allies at NATO head office in
Zelensky is the chosen leader of a sovereign nation and those choices are his and no one will enforce those on a chosen leader of a
sovereign country, Kellogg said.He firmly insisted that his job was to help with a deal that would guarantee that there are strong
security warranties that Ukraine is a sovereign nation

talks.Kellogg repeated earlier suggestions that Europeans would not directly get involved, but insisted they would have an input
I dont think its reasonable or practical to have everyone sitting at the table, he said.Kellogg stated that whatever stays on the table
in the settlements after United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth poured cold water on Ukraines objectives of signing up with NATO or
regaining all its territory.He did not rule out that wider problems of European and worldwide security would be raised in negotiations
between Washington and Moscow

I would not be shocked if global issues are raised, he included, pointing to prospective efforts to break up Russias ties with Iran, North
Korea and China.The United States envoy said that after nearly 3 years of all-out war he thought that both Russia and Ukraine were ready to
call a stop as neither can score a decisive victory on the battleground

When you think of it, this is truly unsustainable
