The details of General`s Kellogg plan to resolve the war in Ukraine have emerged

Among the key points is Ukraine's refusal to join NATO in the next 10 years, as well as significant pressure on Kyiv and Moscow for negotiations.

Newly Elected U.S. President Donald Trump Appoints Keith Kellogg as Special Envoy to Resolve Russia-Ukraine Conflict.

On December 2, a detailed proposal, referred to as the "Kellogg Plan," was made public, outlining a strategy for resolving the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. The plan, while ambitious, emphasizes several key components that remain consistent with previous approaches: Ukraine's non-membership in NATO, the initiation of peace talks, incentives for Russia, and a shift away from isolating Moscow on the global stage. Additionally, the document advocates for exerting maximum pressure on both Kyiv and Moscow to compel a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

The details of the Kellogg Plan were first published on the Insider Telegram channel, which is believed to have close ties to Ukrainian authorities. Keith Kellogg himself unveiled the plan earlier in April through the America First Institute. The document outlines a series of key principles aimed at resolving the ongoing military conflict in Eastern Europe. These proposals focus on bringing an end to the active phase of the war and facilitating the transition to diplomatic negotiations between Moscow, Kyiv, and Washington.

Here are the clauses of the plan :

• To end the isolation of Russia. Establish diplomatic relations with Moscow and stop “demonizing” Putin.
  
• Peace negotiations. Put pressure on Ukraine and Russia to agree on a ceasefire and start negotiations.
  -
• Incentives for Russia. Postpone Ukraine's membership in NATO for 10 years. Allow Russia to keep the territories it holds. The gradual lifting of sanctions and normalization of relations with the United States, subject to peace agreements acceptable to Ukraine.
  
• Support for Ukraine. Continue military assistance and bilateral security guarantees. Ukraine does not need to officially recognize Russia's control, but it should refrain from changing the status quo by force.
  
• Pressure on Kyiv. Potentially cut off U.S. military aid if Ukraine refuses to engage in peace talks.

Russia trained 300,000 reserve soldiers for the war in Ukraine

On December 2, Russian official Ivan Buvaltsev reported that over 300,000 contract soldiers had been trained as reserves for Russia's military operations in Ukraine. Buvaltsev, who heads the training department of Russia's Armed Forces, stated that seven companies of instructors and eight training companies for specialists were involved in the training process. However, he did not specify when these reservists were trained, though the article's context suggests this refers to the year 2024.

This announcement comes amid Russia's continued military challenges, with reports of significant losses in personnel and equipment. In November, Russia reportedly suffered 45,720 casualties, including killed, wounded, or captured soldiers, with 2,030 soldiers lost in one day—recording the highest daily loss since the war began. These figures were cited by Ukraine's military, which also reported that Russia had lost 743,920 troops, along with 9,478 tanks and 19,397 armored fighting vehicles, although these figures could not be independently verified. Despite these losses, Russia's military offensive in the eastern regions of Ukraine, particularly in Donetsk, is said to be progressing.

One person was killed, and three injured in Russia's drone attack on Ternopil

During the night of December 2, a Russian drone strike targeted the city of Ternopil in western Ukraine, causing a fire in a high-rise residential building. The drone struck the top floor, leading to flames that spread across several floors, partially damaging the building. As a result of the attack, at least one person was killed, and three others were injured.

Emergency teams worked through the night to extinguish the fire and assist the injured, while temporary shelters were set up for displaced residents. Local officials reported that doctors were doing everything they could to save the wounded.

Ternopil, located in western Ukraine with a population of approximately 225,000, is far from the front lines and has not been a frequent target of Russian attacks in the past. This attack marks a significant escalation in targeting cities away from the immediate conflict zones.
