This was followed by explosions heard across Ukraine, in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, and more cities.

“Well, unfortunately there’s not much [President Biden] can do,” Kellogg said. “We’re not going to put troops in Ukraine. Ukraine is not a member of NATO.”
Kellogg said that President Biden “must” rally all of NATO and the rest of the world.
“And now, it’s time to rally the world, because there’s not much he can do physically in Ukraine, because they’re not a NATO ally.” Kellogg said.

He added that it’s still early morning in Ukraine, stating that “the first stages of any military operation are always a little bit chaotic for everybody.”

At this point, Kellogg says the biggest question is just how far Putin is willing to go.
“The biggest thing, I think the biggest question you want answers to is how large of an invasion is this? Is he looking at taking Odessa in the south? Is he looking to take Kyiv?,” Kellogg said. “These are the things you’re going to have to watch for to get indicators from.
