Keith Kellogg, a retired US Army lieutenant general who served in the first Trump administration, told America Reports on Wednesday that the “carnage” of the war that began after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 must end . soon.
“Russian losses, losses in Ukraine, damage to their cities – this is a war that must be ended. And I think he (Trump) can do that in the near term,” Kellogg said.
“I really have a lot of confidence in his ability to see this war actually end. And I think people need to understand that he’s not trying to give something away (President of Russia Vladimir) Putin or to the Russians. He’s actually trying to save Ukraine and save their sovereignty, and he’s going to make sure it’s fair and just.”

Kellogg said he would like to set an even shorter timeline with a goal of 100 days to end the war.
“Let’s set it at 100 days and go back and figure out how we can do this in the near term to make sure that the solution is durable, that it’s sustainable and that this war ends so that we stop the carnage” he told Fox News host Sandra Smith. “I think it’s going to be very, very important to do that. This will be important for our national security. It is part of our vital national interests, and it is also good for Europe and the world.”
