(Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday met the U.S. envoy for the war in Ukraine Keith Kellogg, the RBC-Ukraine outlet reported, but their following joint news conference was cancelled at the U.S.'s request, Zelenskiy's office said.

U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, arrived in Kyiv for meetings with officials saying he was there to "listen," a day after Ukraine was left out of pivotal U.S.-Russia talks.

Keith Kellogg, U.S. President Donald Trump's Ukraine envoy, said on Monday that no one would impose a peace deal on Kyiv and that questions about whether Washington would provide guarantees for any future European peacekeepers would be addressed later.
