Kellogg: 70% of Americans Support Ukraine, Not Washington's View

Keith Kellogg, the former U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine, has stated that a substantial majority of Americans, estimated between 68% and 70%, support Ukraine's ongoing struggle against Russian aggression. This sentiment, he argues, stands in contrast to the perspectives often emanating from Washington D.C.

"Don't listen to Washington. Washington has its own point of view. That's why it's called 'the swamp.' But Americans generally admire Ukraine's fight, understand it, and support Ukrainians," Kellogg told UNIAN. He advised Ukrainians not to be swayed solely by official U.S. government narratives, suggesting that the broader American public holds a different, more supportive view.

From 68 to 70 percent of Americans support Ukraine, and only 2 percent support what Russia is doing. This shows that the American people are on Ukraine's side. Don't listen to Washington. Washington has its own point of view. That's why it's called 'the swamp.' However, Americans generally admire Ukraine's fight, understand it, and support Ukrainians.

Kellogg also conveyed a strong conviction that Russia is incapable of achieving victory in the conflict. He dismissed reports or suggestions of Russian success as mere psychological warfare, asserting, "Russia will not win this war. It simply will not win." He believes the international community must consistently reiterate this message, emphasizing that Putin's continued actions are "unwise."

Drawing parallels to historical conflicts, Kellogg compared the current war in Ukraine to the period of World War II when the Soviet Union occupied the Baltic states, suggesting Putin harbors ambitions for territorial expansion. He also commented on the complex relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, noting their similar characters often lead to a dynamic of mutual push and pull, akin to two magnets.

Russia will not win this war. It simply will not win. When people say Russia is winning, that is psychological warfare, it is not true.
