Keith Kellogg Appointed to BGR Group’s Advisory Board
U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker joins ‘Mornings with Maria’ to discuss Ukraine’s peace talks, escalating European tensions, and the Trump administration’s role as a pivotal force in potentially ending the conflict.
Keith Kellogg, former special envoy to Ukraine under President Donald Trump and a retired U.S. Army lieutenant general, has recently joined a Washington-based consulting and advisory firm. This announcement was made on Wednesday.
David Urban, managing director at BGR Group, expressed his pride in Kellogg’s new role on the firm’s advisory board. “Incredibly proud that my friend @generalkellogg is now my colleague at the #BGRGroup! For over 58 years, @generalkellogg has served our nation with distinction. First as a decorated combat veteran, then as a distinguished public servant,” Urban stated.
BGR Group welcomed Kellogg, highlighting his extensive experience in military and White House leadership that has shaped global national security policy.

In November, Fox News reported that Kellogg was expected to conclude his tenure by the end of the year, having reached the limit of his term as special presidential envoy. Initially appointed by Trump as the special envoy to both Russia and Ukraine, his focus later shifted solely to Ukraine.
NBC News reported that Kellogg was perceived as too pro-Ukraine by Russian officials, leading to his exclusion from negotiations aimed at resolving the conflict.

A Russian official remarked to NBC News in March, “Kellogg is a former American general, too close to Ukraine. Not our kind of person, not of the caliber we are looking for.”
The Trump administration has been actively pursuing a peace deal to resolve the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kyiv, which has persisted for nearly four years. However, these efforts have yet to yield significant results.
U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff announced on Wednesday in Davos that he and Jared Kushner plan to travel to Moscow once more to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a potential agreement that could bring an end to the war.

Despite Putin’s firm stance on his demands during negotiations, Witkoff expressed optimism, stating that a deal could be nearing finalization. “The Ukrainians have said that we’re 90% done. And I agree with them. In fact, I think that we’ve made even more significant improvement over this past weekend,” he noted.
