Zelensky's advisor on the Kellogg plan: It's a failure if it only includes a ceasefire and elections.

He wrote about this on platform X, commenting on Kellogg's words to the British news agency Reuters.

Litvin pointed out that the President's Office had not seen the full interview with Kellogg — only a few quotes about the elections, and therefore they cannot assess his position.

“But if his plan is merely a ceasefire and elections, then it is a failed plan. Only these two things [the head of the rf, Vladimir] Putin will not be afraid of,” the advisor to the Ukrainian president emphasized.

He highlighted the danger from Russia, which could repeat its attack after a ceasefire is established, particularly with the support of North Korea.

“So we would certainly like to see a more profound approach from the officials of key partners,” Litvin explained.

At the same time, Litvin noted that U.S. President Donald Trump, during meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, “spoke deeply and wisely about the situation” and what “can actually pressure Putin.”

Now, according to Litvin, “it is important to quickly move to real work” between the presidential teams on a “concrete plan” for ending the war and ensuring lasting peace.

What preceded this?

Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, stated that the U.S. wants Ukraine to hold elections, especially if a ceasefire in the war with Russia can be achieved in the coming months.

“I think this is good for democracy. The beauty of a strong democracy is that you have more than one person who can potentially run for office,” Kellogg said.

Previously, Kellogg expressed conviction that months, not years, are needed to initiate peace negotiations.
