:: U.S. envoy rules out NATO membership for Ukraine
Keith Kellogg, U.S. special envoy to Russia and Ukraine
“We’ve got too many other issues in the world that the United States must be involved in. And this war is going on way too long. But I think there’s an opportunity. We presented what I would call a term sheet. This is what it looks like going forward to the Ukrainians. They went back to Kyiv, they’re going to come back next week in London and we’re going to say what does this look like? Then we turn to the Russians and say, what is your term sheet look like? Then you put it together. Let me give you one example. The example we’ve been very clear, NATO’s off the table. You’re not going to be part of it. That’s something that’s not new. We’ve been talking about that since 2008, when Ambassador Burns told Condoleezza Rice this was a bridge too far.””
Speaking on Fox News Channel’s Fox And Friends Weekend, U.S. special envoy to Russia and Ukraine Keith Kellogg says NATO membership for Ukraine is ‘off the table’.
Kellogg also said that a minerals deal was part of the solution for a comprehensive ceasefire and “permanent peace deal.”
U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration relaunched negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program this month with talks in Oman last weekend and a second round expected in Rome this weekend. It has also started talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.
