Trump’s Surprise Move: General Kellogg Heads to Ukraine
Imagine the Kremlin so upset with a new U.S. envoy that they hit the brakes on every talk in February.
Why the Kremlin Said “Not Our Kind of Person”
When President Donald Trump announced that General Keith Kellogg would serve as the Special Envoy to Ukraine, the Russian leadership didn’t exactly do a victory lap. The Kremlin, in a low‑key memo, voiced a clear opinion: Kellogg’s “pro‑Ukraine” attitude was a mismatch with #Putin’s preferences. In other words, Moscow thinks the General is too pro‑Ukraine*.
So, what did that mean for the meeting schedule? Simply put: no more high‑level chats with Kremlin officials.
Trump’s Quick Fix
Fairly quickly, Trump took the heating cue and issued a quick on‑the‑spot memo (no emoji, no exclamation marks). He told the Kremlin, “No new talks with the Russian side. Kellogg will only be dealing with Ukraine’s president and his own top brass.”
- Direct contact with President Volodymyr Zelensky only.
- Maintained a “solid working relationship” — the same partnership that can keep the world from a diplomatic doom loop.
- Public announcement via Truth Social with a celebratory shoutout: “Congratulations to General Kellogg!”
Why it matters
The real drama here is about trust and strategy. The U.S. wants a neighbor that can talk tough w/ Russia, while Russia wants to keep it on the cool‑side. By steering Kellogg away from Russia, Trump signals a bumpy but hopeful partnership with Ukraine.
Still, the Kremlin’s reaction shows how tense the geopolitical tug‑of‑war remains. Whether or not kudos to the general or a “shutup‑now” from Moscow will end up being a long‑term diplomatic play, time’s the only judge.

Apparently, the UK’s crisis‑response team has taken the “no‑question” route and warned that should a conflict erupt with Russia, they’ll be pulling every bloke and gal into their ranks for the fight of their lives. They’re not messing around.
Trump’s “Special Envoy” Node
Former reality‑TV star-turned‑diplomat joins the chaos: Kellog (probably re‑reading a tweet or two) says he’s “deeply honored and humbled” by President Trump pointing a finger at him and declaring he’s “the one to END THIS WAR.” The message looks like a mash‑up of bland patriotic slogans and a vid‑report for the four‑ball team of American fear.
Alastair Campbell’s Conspiracy‑theory Moment
Out of the blue, Alastair Campbell, the former Tony Blair whisperer, fires back. He’s basically saying “I used to think Trump was a Russian asset, but now I’m not so sure: all Trump’s speeches have a Kremlin‑style feel. Scary times.”
He’s trying to move from a joke to a genuine paranoia‑moving narrative.
Alnur Mussayev – the “KGB Recruiter”
Alnur “Mussayev” from the old Soviet Guard claims he caught the billionaire in 1987 on a Moscow trip and turned him into an operative under the alias “Krasnov” (aka “Red”). He says Trump turned into an asset, meaning he’s a friendly sort of spy who drops favours instead of being paid. He swears Trump handed Russia a stockpile of favours lately, after playing up his time in America as a world‑policy guru.
He also notes that even small businessmen from capitalist states were a big part of the 6th Directorate’s mission and that they recruited Trump as a “businessman” spy under a codename that literally means “red.” He finishes with a whimsical statement that intelligence agencies can do anything, even “recruit a future state leader or the President of the United States.”
Summary
- UK says war with Russia would mean mass conscription even for trivial residents.
- Trump is in the spotlight as a “Special Envoy to Ukraine.”
- Alastair Campbell pivots to a conspiracy theory about Trump being a Russian asset.
- Alnur Mussayev claims Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 as “Krasnov.”
- He claims Trump’s actions this week are pre–scripted for the Kremlin.
In a world where geopolitics, conspiracy theories, and an occasional meme collide, it’s hard to tell if anything is real, or just another fisherman trying to lure attention. The conversation continues to swirl like a bad story in a blockbuster film.
