The outside world's response
Sources: Ex-general may become Trump's Ukraine envoy
Donald Trump is considering picking former National Security Council chief of staff Keith Kellogg as envoy to Ukraine, sources told Reuters.
The retired general was chief of staff the last time Trump was in the White House and it is he who is said to have presented an alternative peace plan to the incoming president.
Kellogg's peace plan, which became known this summer, involves, among other things, freezing the current front lines and preventing Ukraine from joining NATO - a plan that Volodymyr Zelenskyi would likely be very opposed to.
The US does not currently have an ambassador to Ukraine. According to the sources, it has not yet been decided that the role will go to Kellogs.
Kristersson: Have a neighbor in need - we have to help
The leaders of the Nordic-Baltic countries, and Poland's Donald Tusk, have agreed during today's summit at Harpsund to increase support for Ukraine. This is announced by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) at a press conference.
Among other things, the countries will invest in the Ukrainian arms industry to make more ammunition available to the country.
- We have a neighbor in need and we must help it. Our countries are the largest contributors per GDP to Ukraine, says Kristersson and promises that support will increase further.
The leaders from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia and Poland participate in the summit.

Ukraine's response
Kuleba: "People in Europe must be mad at me"
Ukraine's former foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba does not have high hopes that Donald Trump can broker a peace with Russia. He tells Politico that.
- Ukraine is a personal obsession for Putin, but crushing Ukraine is also a way to achieve his great goal, to show the world how incapable the West is of defending itself or its values, says Kuleba.
Kuleba is very pessimistic in the interview and brings up, among other things, the thousands of North Korean soldiers who are reinforcing the Russian army.
- People in Europe may be angry with me, but the truth is [...] that Russia has a friend who is ready to send his soldiers to die in Russia's war, while Ukraine's friends do not even send the weapons that the country needs.
