U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that retired lieutenant general Keith Kellogg, who was appointed as his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia in late November, will shift his focus to Ukraine.

"General Kellogg, a Highly Respected Military Expert, will deal directly with President (Volodymyr) Zelenskyy and Ukrainian leadership," Trump posted on social media platform Truth Social, adding: "He knows them well, and they have a very good working relationship together."

Kellogg did not appear in recent peace talks held in Saudi Arabia, neither with the Russian delegation in the capital of Riyadh in February and nor with the Ukrainian delegation in the port city of Jeddah earlier this month.

The 80-year-old retired general once served as the national security advisor to then Vice President Mike Pence, and as the executive secretary and chief of staff of the National Security Council in the first Trump administration.
