Kellogg: Putin Lacks Strength to Move Toward Baltics
Former US special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg told Latvian Television that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not have the military strength to attack the Baltic states, so the darkest security scenarios are unfounded.
Retired US Army General Keith Kellogg, who served as Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine, stated in an interview with Latvian Television that Russian President Vladimir Putin lacks the strength to advance toward the Baltic region. The diplomat urged those who envision the bleakest scenarios for Baltic security to relax for a moment. Kellogg's remarks indicate that Russia's military capabilities are currently limited and that concerns about an imminent aggression against the Baltic states are exaggerated.
