Kellogg Fired Over Leaking 28-Point Plan – Proposal Designed To Trap Putin
On Tuesday the 18th November someone 'leaked' to Axios reporter Barak Ravid who then wrote the first story of Trump's new plan for Ukraine.
Scoop: U.S. secretly drafting new plan to end Ukraine war
The plan's 28 points fall into four general buckets, sources tell Axios: peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, security in Europe, and future U.S. relations with Russia and Ukraine.
…
Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff is leading the drafting of the plan and has discussed it extensively with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, a U.S. official said.
Shortly thereafter Steve Witkoff made a mistake on Twitter when he sent a response meant for a private direct message to the public side of his account. He soon deleted it but someone had already taken a screenshot.
On Thursday, the 20th of November, the New York Post mentioned it:
Senior US officials confirm details of 28-point plan to end Ukraine war
The [Marco Rubio] comment came after Axios on Tuesday reported a deal had been reached, citing Putin henchman Kirill Dmitriev, who claimed he worked on the plan with Witkoff.
Senior US officials believe Dmitriev leaked the plan to Axios as a way to put their "their POV out there first [because] it seemed like they were winning," one of the officials said. "This is just a tit for tat. Always has been."
Witkoff appeared to have surmised the same in a quickly deleted post to X in response to the article Tuesday night.
"He must have got this from K," Witkoff wrote of the Axios author, Barak Ravid — apparently meaning to send it as a DM referring to Dmitriev by his first initial.
I seriously doubt that the "K" Witkoff mentions was Kirill Dmitriev. Dimitriev is not a Washington insider. He is unlikely to leak anything to an Israeli mouthpiece at Axios.
Another "K", intimately involve in all things Kiev is General Keith Kellogg. When the leak happened he still was Trump's special envoy to Kiev and will have had knowledge of the plan.
A day later after the leak to Axios Kellogg got fired. As Reuters reported on Wednesday:
Exclusive: Trump's Ukraine envoy Kellogg to leave post in January, sources say
WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump's Special Envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, has told associates he plans to leave the administration in January, four sources told Reuters, a departure that would mean the loss of a key advocate for Ukraine in the Trump administration.
