In brief

Former US presidential envoy Keith Kellogg suggested a humanitarian ceasefire along Ukraine’s current front line as a possible route to halting the fighting. His remarks describe a proposal, with no agreement reported.

Former US presidential envoy General Keith Kellogg proposed considering a humanitarian ceasefire along Ukraine’s current front line. He described it as one possible approach to ending hostilities.

Kellogg referred to a model that he said the US first lady had used in Oleshky. He suggested beginning to establish a ceasefire on humanitarian grounds along the line of contact, comparing it to a demilitarised zone. The cited report did not specify how the Oleshky model worked.

Kellogg also said he believed Vladimir Putin wanted to seize as much Ukrainian territory as possible. The cited report gave no timetable for implementing Kellogg’s proposal and contained no confirmation that the parties had agreed to it.
