WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Keith Kellogg, a highly decorated retired three-star general, to serve as his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Kellogg is retired Army lieutenant general who has long been Trump’s top adviser on defense issues. Kellogg served as national security adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence. Kellogg is one of the architects of a staunchly conservative policy book that lays out an “America First” national security agenda for the incoming administration. Kellogg will come into the envoy role as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters its third year in February.
