Keith Kellogg explains why he keeps supporting Ukraine

Former U.S. special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg has continued to support Kyiv in its conflict with Russia, believing it places him on the "right side of history." In an interview with Ramina Eshakzai, Kellogg emphasized his admiration for the Ukrainian people, stating that he enjoys being around individuals who exhibit a strong sense of compassion and willingness to fight.

He explained that saying one is "on the right side of history" when working with Ukrainians serves as motivation for his ongoing visits to the country. Kellogg anticipates that in 10, 15, or 20 years, people will view his actions as aligned with his beliefs. He hopes that future generations will recognize his commitment to the Ukrainian cause.

The interview revealed that a significant portion of Americans, between 68% and 70%, support Ukraine, while only 2% back Russia's actions. Kellogg dismissed Washington's perspective, referring to it as the "swamp," and argued that the American public, in general, admires Ukraine's struggle, comprehends their situation, and supports the Ukrainian people.

A previous conversation between then-U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding Russia's occupation of Crimea in 2014 was also discussed. Kellogg revealed that Trump was unaware of the exact number of Ukrainian casualties during Russia's seizure of the peninsula.
