US President-elect Donald Trump has chosen retired General Keith Kellog as his special adviser for the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Keith, who has held many important positions in the US, has the challenge of ending the long-running war between the two countries as a special envoy to Ukraine and Russia. He also has the burden of fulfilling the promise of Trump, who has announced to end the Ukraine war in the US elections.

Keith has a special plan in this regard. With this appointment, Donald Trump has also adopted Kellogg's peace plan to end the Ukraine war. His plan includes ceasefire, negotiations and changes in military aid to Ukraine. However, this plan is not easy. There are many challenges in it, especially finding answers to questions like dealing with Russia's demands and maintaining unity in Western countries.

Putin was very upset over Ukraine joining NATO

General Keith Kellog, writing for the America First Policy Institute, has detailed his peace plan under which he hopes to stop the Russia-Ukraine war. Kellog says that Ukraine's NATO membership is actually a very distant prospect. In such a situation, it should be put on hold indefinitely in exchange for a comprehensive peace agreement with security guarantees. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been very angry about Ukraine joining NATO.

Ukraine needs youth to fight Russia: Blinken

At the same time, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that Russia needs to include young people in the army to succeed in the war it has waged against Ukraine. Blinken's remarks in an interview reflect a growing view among Western officials that Kiev urgently needs more manpower as well as money and ammunition to gain an edge on the Russian battlefield.

Ukraine's allies have long avoided raising the issue publicly because of its political sensitivity. But Blinken's comments suggest they now hope public pressure will force Kiev to reconsider mobilizing youth.
