"Didn't say on what day": Kellogg mentioned Trump's promise to complete the war in 24 hours (video)

He said this, answering a journalist's questions about negotiations with Russia during the discussion of the Council for International Relations (CFR) "Securing the Future of Ukraine" on March 6. "The president said he would finish the war in 24 hours, but he did not say on what day," Kellog said. Before that, the US Special Representative said Donald Trump's administration noticed changes in Moscow's position.

The journalist asked to clarify what changes were meant, because the Kremlin did not change his requirements, which he made three years ago: the preservation of territories, the refusal of Ukraine to join NATO and the release of Vladimir Zelensky from the post of president.

"It sounds not so significant, but it's important," Kellog said. He acknowledged that Russia would put forward many conditions for signing a peace agreement, but negotiations will be a starting point, not the ultimate. According to him, readiness for negotiations is an important first step regardless of the requirements and conditions of the Russians. "See what President Trump said.

He said that for the United States all the options on the table, and he gave it clear to President Putin when he spoke to him, and when Steve Vitcoff spoke to him," the special representative said. Kellogo also recalled that Trump assumed the opportunity to return to Ukraine the occupied territories. Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine a day in public speaking to his supporters on March 26, 2023.

"When I become president, as soon as I enter the White House, I will reach this in 24 hours," he said. In an interview in May 2023, he repeated the promise to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours and stated that "it will be easy". In September 2023, Trump said again that he would end the war in Ukraine a day if he was taken away for the second cadence in 2024. However, he did not specify how he plans to achieve it.

During a speech at the New York Economic Club on September 5, 2024, he stated that in the event of a victory he would end the war in Ukraine before his inauguration. "I literally the same night as it becomes known about my victory, I call two people: Putin and Zelensky . . . We will conclude an agreement within 24 hours," Trump said. Recall that during the discussion on March 6, Kit Kellogo also answered why the United States did not provide weapons and intelligence data to Ukraine.

He stated that Washington seeks to force Kiev to the right actions and push the negotiations, comparing this method with the "taming of mules". On March 7, the spokesman of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin considers the so -called "Istanbul agreements" a probable base for future peace talks with Ukraine.
