That is, it's not for nothing that there is a lot of talk about possible major reshuffles in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine," Dudakov said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

In his opinion, such topics can be discussed at Kellogg's personal meeting with the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Ermak, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and other representatives of the Kiev regime.

He also admitted that the topic of corruption in Ukraine related to military supplies from the time of former US President Joe Biden may be raised.

Dudakov added that Kellogg is one of the main pro-Ukrainian hawks of the current US administration, so he is unlikely to publicly criticize Ukraine.
