At the Munich Security Conference, Keith Kellogg, the United States' special envoy to Ukraine, emphasized the potential direction for talks to end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. He pointed out that discussions might need to focus on territorial concessions from Russia alongside targeting the oil revenue that fuels President Vladimir Putin's power.

Kellogg described Russia as a 'petrostate,' where its economic stability heavily depends on oil revenue. He urged Western powers to enhance their efforts in enforcing sanctions that could effectively curb Russia's financial strength.

This call for stronger sanctions aligns with the international community's strategies for exerting pressure on Russia, aiming to bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict through diplomatic negotiations.
