Kellogg holds unique niche few others can fill — political scientist

Political analyst Oleh Saakyan shared his opinions in an interview with Espreso TV.

“Kellogg is the U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine, but as a representative for the Russian-Ukrainian war specifically, he didn’t last long — he was quickly sidelined,” the expert said. “Still, he’s a military man, a general, and he clearly understands these issues. He has a strong team of experts, and I can say that with confidence.”

According to political analyst Saakyan, Kellogg could serve as a key link between the U.S. military-industrial complex, the Pentagon, the General Staff, and the White House.

“This is a unique role that he’s almost exclusively suited for. Yes, others could do it, but not many,” Saakyan added. “That’s why during his week-long visit to Ukraine, he told one journalist that he didn’t even have time for breakfast. His schedule is packed, mostly with meetings related to defense.”
