Former U.S. special envoy Keith
Kellogg and former Vice President Mike Pence will attend an Independence
Day prayer breakfast in Kyiv on Aug. 24, a source in the President’s Office
told NV on Aug. 21.
Kellogg, who served as a Special Representative for Ukraine in 2025, earlier announced that he had arrived in Ukraine and took part in a Black Sea Initiatives event in Odesa.
“Had a very informative meeting on the Black Sea initiatives in Odesa,” he wrote in a Twitter post.
“Odesa is a place where warfare has changed. The Russians now use jet powered drones
against the seaport.”
Ukraine’s Infrastructure Ministry said Kellogg and a U.S. delegation inspected damage to Odesa seaport infrastructure from Russian strikes. Participants discussed further restoration and development of port infrastructure, strengthening the resilience of export routes, and ways to attract international partners and private capital to infrastructure projects, the ministry added.
Ukrainian officials added that the meeting also covered
potential cooperation through the U.S.-Ukrainian reconstruction fund,
established last year by the so-called ‘Minerals Deal’ Washington pressured
Kyiv into signing.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
