Washington will not present a plan to end Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine during the Munich Security Conference next week, U.S. special envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg said on Feb. 6, Orda reports, citing The Kyiv Independent.

Speaking to Newsmax TV, Kellogg denied media reports that he would introduce such a plan at the conference, scheduled for Feb. 14-16.

Kellogg said U.S. President Trump would present the plan but did not specify a timeline.

We are going to lead it up to him to help him out, get it to a point where he delivers that, but that is not going to happen next week at all. We are going to have great discussions with senior leaders in the European environment and bring back what we found out to the President of the United States and then go from there Kellogg said.

Kellogg has described a "near-term" resolution as being within 100 days of the inauguration, calling it his personal and professional goal to help Trump broker a solution within that timeframe.

On Feb. 1, Kellogg claimed Trump has a "reliable plan" to end the war.

It would involve "pressuring not only Moscow but also Kyiv" while offering incentives to both sides.

Trump's special envoy is also expected to visit Ukraine later this month to talk with Ukrainian officials.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy U.S. doubts President Donald Trump has an official plan to end Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.

There is no official plan yet. What is in certain publications... I am sure that this is not President Trump's official plan, Zelenskyy said.

Zelenskyy indicated that he understands the plan's direction, having discussed some details with U.S. officials before Trump's inauguration.

Our teams will work together, there can be no plan separately from anyone, even from the United States. <...> Let's wait for our official negotiations and official results, Zelenskyy said.

Trump recently claimed that Washington was seeking rare Ukrainian earth metals in exchange for aid. He also threatened sanctions and tariffs on Russian exports if a peace deal was not reached soon.

The Wall Street Journal has previously suggested that Trump's team was exploring a plan to delay Ukraine's NATO membership by at least 20 years in exchange for Western arms supplies and European peacekeepers to monitor a potential ceasefire with Russia.
