U.S. President Donald Trump appointed General Keith Kellogg as Special Envoy to Ukraine on March 15, where he will communicate directly with Ukrainian leadership rather than participate in negotiations with Russia as previously intended.

Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has the latest on the Trump administration’s efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

The Foreign Secretary has said it would be “wrong” for Vladimir Putin to place conditions on a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

But a day later, Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council announced that Russian troops had fired at Ukrainian positions at least 10 times. The ceasefire failed to materialise into anything substantive.

The Russian president agrees fighting must end, but calls for the removal of the "root causes" of the war he launched.
