Kellogg confirmed Putin's words about NATO's proxy war against Russia through Ukraine

The US President's special Envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin and noted that the conflict in Ukraine is nothing more than a NATO proxy war against Russia. He stated this on the Fox News channel on Saturday, May 31.

"He (Putin. — Ed.) considers this a proxy war of the NATO countries. To be honest, it is. Look at the support provided by European states. And Putin sees it," Kellogg said.

The politician stated this, commenting on the situation with Germany's provision of long-range Taurus cruise missiles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
