Keith Kellogg, US Special Presidential Envoy for Ukraine, said on Fox News that Ukraine will not join NATO. He also mentioned that there are other options available that could be pursued.

"Let me give you one example. The example is that we've been very clear. NATO's off the table. You're not going to be part of NATO. 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. I wrote about it in 2013," Kellogg said.

According to him, there are alternative routes and other options. He also announced that next week there will be talks in London aimed at ending the war.

"But there are workarounds. There are workarounds you can do and workarounds you can work. So you don't want to start with a problem, throw it out there, and there's no solution to it. And we have. And that covers everything we're talking about. And we should have some pretty good results next week in London," the US Special Presidential Envoy emphasized.

Ceasefire in Ukraine

In the same interview, Kellogg clarified that next week, US representatives will travel to London to address the issue of a ceasefire in Ukraine.

Notably, today, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced an Easter ceasefire, which, according to him, is set to take effect at 6:00 PM on April 19 Moscow time. The Kremlin leader stated that he had ordered the suspension of all hostilities.
