    Special Envoy Keith Kellogg is in Ukraine today, but Dummkopf Trumpf is only interested in buying more time for Vladimir Putin and his much larger army to continue its relentless war of attrition on his smaller neighbor. The EU and NATO are determined to support Ukraine which is flabbergasting both Trumpf and Putin. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
