The two also reportedly proposed to freeze the front lines in their current position and take Ukraine&#8217;s NATO accession off the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Washington would at the same time warn Moscow that any refusal to negotiate would result in increased US support for Ukraine, retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg\u00a0said in an interview. <\/p>\n<p>He added that Trump &#8211; the Republican presidential candidate at that time &#8211; responded &#8216;favourably&#8217;. &#8220;I&#8217;m not claiming he agreed with it or agreed with every word of it, but we were pleased to get the feedback we did,&#8221; Fleitz said.<\/p>\n<p>Kellogg spoke exclusively with VOA\u2019s Ukrainian service in July about his vision for ending the war in Ukraine, published as part of the book An America-First Approach to US National Security.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said that in order to persuade Kyiv to enter into any sort of talks with Russia, Washington would, in return, continue\u00a0to arm Ukraine to deter Russia from attacking during or after a deal is reached.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to convincing Russia to participate in the negotiations, Kellogg wrote that the US and other NATO partners would delay Ukraine&#8217;s membership in the alliance for an extended period in exchange for a &#8220;comprehensive and verifiable deal with security guarantees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kellogg&#8217;s take on Ukraine&#8217;s NATO accession<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A year ago, in November 2023 General Keith Kellogg has co-authored an Issue Brief for the Centre for American Security arguing that pushing for Ukraine\u2019s NATO membership threatens to derail an end to the war.<\/p>\n<p>Kellogg wrote that America\u2019s NATO allies are contemplating fast-tracking NATO membership for Ukraine &#8220;after the war&#8221; has ended. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This war, however, will likely end in a stalemate in which Ukrainian territory\u2019 is still occupied by Russian forces with a ceasefire in place rather than a decisive military victory by Ukraine,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He argues that granting Ukraine NATO membership in this context threatens to derail peace efforts toward \u201ca permanent end state while also risking an American military engagement with Russia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Putin has long used Kyiv&#8217;s NATO aspirations as one of Moscow\u2019s claimed reasons to go on an all-out invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.
