Ukraine anticipates swift contact with new U.S. administration after Trump inauguration

Ukraine anticipates immediate high-level contact with the new U.S. administration after Donald Trump’s inauguration. Officials expect a meeting between Trump and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to strengthen ties and address the ongoing conflict with Russia. Ukrainian officials have been reaching out to Trump, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with the U.S. to resolve the war. They have not opposed a potential Trump-Putin meeting, despite previous concerns about legitimizing the Russian leader. Trump has appointed Keith Kellogg as his envoy for the war. A planned trip to Kyiv by Kellogg has been postponed due to legal reasons related to the Logan Act, which restricts private negotiations with foreign officials.
