Kellogg said Trump is unwilling to allow the Minsk agreements to be repeated

US President-elect Donald Trump does not want the situation with the Minsk agreements to repeat itself. This was stated on Tuesday, December 24, by the special envoy for Ukraine in the office of the next American head Keith Kellogg.

"We've seen peace processes in the past, such as the attempt by Russia and Ukraine in the Minsk negotiation process, which clearly failed. President [Trump] doesn't want something like that. <...> He wants a just, sustainable and secure world," he said in an interview with Fox Business television.

He added that Trump "recognizes the importance of the relationships that he has with allies." He expressed hope that the American president-elect will be able to achieve a settlement of the conflict.
