U.S. President Donald Trump's team may present a plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine during the Munich Security Conference next week, Bloomberg reported on Feb. 5, citing its undisclosed sources.

Keith Kellogg, special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, is expected to present Trump's plan at the conference, Bloomberg reported, citing its sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The sources did not specify the format or the depth of the discussions after the presentation.

Kellogg confirmed his participation in the conference on X on Feb. 5, writing: "As the U.S. president's special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, I look forward to speaking about Donald Trump's goal to end the bloody and costly war in Ukraine."

"I'll meet with America's allies who are ready to work with us," he added.

Kellogg, a retired general tasked with advancing Trump's strategy in the Russia-Ukraine war, has defined the "near term" end to the war as 100 days out from the inauguration and said it was his personal and professional goal to help Trump broker a solution by that point.

Talking to Fox News on Feb. 1, Kellogg claimed that Trump has a "reliable plan" to end the war that entails "pressuring not only Moscow but also Kyiv" while offering positive initiatives for both.

Kellogg is also expected to visit Ukraine later this month for talks with Ukrainian officials.
