In an interview with the British newspaper The Times, US President Donald Trump's special envoy Keith Kellogg proposed a plan to divide Ukraine into control zones, similar to post-war Berlin. This plan involves the deployment of British and French troops in western Ukraine, Russian troops in the east and the creation of a demilitarized zone between them.
Plan Details
1. Division into control zones:
- Western Zone: British and French troops will control the western territories of Ukraine.
- Eastern Zone: The Russian army will control the eastern territories that are under temporary occupation.
- Demilitarized Zone: A 30-kilometer-wide demilitarized zone will be established between the western and eastern zones to prevent armed conflict.
2. The role of the Ukrainian troops:
- The Ukrainian armed forces will be deployed between the control zones of the British, French and Russian troops, ensuring the sovereignty of the country.
3. Absence of American troops:
- Keith Kellogg stressed that the United States will not deploy its ground forces in Ukraine, limiting itself to supporting the peace agreement.
Reactions and clarifications
After the interview was published, Keith Kellogg clarified that his words had been misinterpreted. He stressed that he was talking about the areas of responsibility of the allied forces that would support Ukraine's sovereignty, and not about dividing the country.
Russia's likely response
Russia will not give its consent to the presence of foreign troops on the territory of Ukraine. It's impossible.
