U.S. Envoy Reports Peace Deal Between Russia and Ukraine 'Really Close' Amid Sticking Points
Keith Kellogg, the outgoing U.S. envoy to Ukraine, has indicated that a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is nearing completion, with only two major issues remaining unresolved. Speaking at the Reagan National Defence Forum, Kellogg highlighted the future of the Donbas region and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as the primary sticking points. The Donbas, comprising Donetsk and Luhansk, is a contested area where significant Ukrainian military efforts have been concentrated. Meanwhile, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear facility, under Russian control since the early stages of the invasion, requires stable power to maintain safety protocols. Kellogg expressed optimism, stating that resolving these issues could lead to a broader agreement, suggesting that the negotiations are in the final stages.
