New US administration wants to purchase weapons for Ukraine using russian assets – special envoy Kellogg

The United States may purchase weapons for Ukraine using proceeds from frozen russian assets. This will simultaneously support Ukraine and strengthen the U.S. defense industry.

Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and russia, Keith Kellogg, stated this in an interview with Fox News.

"We've always talked about this repeatedly – of using Russian frozen assets to buy US arms," said Kellogg.

In his opinion, this will be a comprehensive solution to simultaneously support Ukraine and strengthen the American defense industry.

Trump's special envoy also believes that although weapons remain a key element in achieving peace, diplomacy and economic influence are also important.

"Using Russian frozen assets to do that, to buy US arms, is one piece of the puzzle that needs to be discussed, and it is going to be on the table with the president to talk about," added Kellogg.
