"I'll meet with America's allies who are ready to work with us," he added.

Kellogg, a retired general tasked with advancing Trump's strategy in the Russia-Ukraine war, has defined the "near term" end to the war as 100 days out from the inauguration and said it was his personal and professional goal to help Trump broker a solution by that point.

Kellogg is also expected to visit Ukraine later this month for talks with Ukrainian officials.
