Megan Mobbs, the daughter of US President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg, criticized the decision to spread the red carpet for Russian leader Vladimir Putin at Anchorage Airport in Alaska, where he arrived to participate in the Russian-American summit.
Mobbs called for those who made this decision to be held accountable.
"American soldiers in uniform should not have been used to spread the red carpet for one of our main opponents. Period. A terrible decision, and whoever made it should be held accountable," Mobbs writes, quoted by the telegram channel FREEDOM.
However, later she tried to smooth things over by publishing a post in support of Trump.
"Like many, I want this brutal war to end, and I welcome the efforts of the US President in this direction. And the "fast world" is more likely to benefit Moscow than Kiev. The coming days will be crucial for determining the possibility of achieving peace on fair and lasting terms," Mobbs added, quoted by the Country newspaper.
As EADaily reported, the US President's special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, will not attend the Russian-American summit in Alaska. This was reported by CNN, citing sources. As noted by a senior source of the Donald Trump administration, Kellogg is perceived by the Russian side as sympathetic to Ukraine, which could make his presence at the meeting counterproductive, a senior administration official explained, the TV channel reported.
Recall, the presidents of Russia and the United States Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump shook hands on the red carpet in Anchorage, Alaska. Trump was clearly excited, and even clapped while Putin was walking towards him.
Russian President Vladimir Putin at Friday's summit with his American counterpart Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska, received two victories at once, CNN reported. One of them, in his opinion, is "a wonderful vision of the red carpet for welcoming in In the United States and trips on the "Beast" (as Trump's car is called in the USA. — EADaily)». Both represent "an extraordinary form of reputational rehabilitation," CNN believes.
