Ukraine: Kellogg for security zones – as once in Berlin

The US special envelope Keith Kellogg can introduce itself after a ceasefire in Ukraine of British or French troops – “similar to in Berlin after the Second World War”. He made this proposal in an interview published on Saturday with the British “Times”. He later specified that it should be “not a division of Ukraine”.

“It could make it look almost similar to Berlin after the Second World War when there was a Russian zone, a French zone, a British zone and a US zone,” said Kellogg of the Times.

He later specified in online service X that his proposal was about responsibility for the foreign armies, which should defend Ukrainian sovereignty after a possible peace – “not about a division of Ukraine”. The US Army will not participate in these “resilience troops”, he added.

It could also be that Russian President Vladimir Putin “does not accept” the presence of European troops in Ukraine.

The British and French soldiers could be stationed west of the Dnipro river, Kellogg continued. There they would be a “big obstacle” for Russia and yet no “provocation” for Moscow troops.

Direct battles could be avoided by a buffer zone, the US specialist said. There will be “probably” violations of a possible ceasefire, “because they always exist”.

Great Britain and France have been trying to secure peace in Ukraine for weeks as part of the so -called coalition of the willing people to make a multinational mission on peacekeeping in Ukraine.

The “coalition of the willing” was launched in March after the scandal between US President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian head of state Wolodymyr Selenskyj at their meeting in the White House. In the group, which counts around 30 countries, together with representatives of NATO and the EU, but without the participation of Washington, especially the possible contributions in Europe to ceasefire and peacekeeping in Ukraine are discussed. However, many participants agreed that there was only possible protection of peace in Ukraine in cooperation with the United States.

The negotiations on an ceasefire in Ukraine, which started by the US government in February, have recently stalled. Trump increased the pressure on Moscow on Friday: “Russia has to move,” he wrote in his online platform Truth Social in the run -up to a meeting of his special envoy Steve Wittkoffs with Putin. The meeting came to an end on Friday, without decisions being announced.

During the efforts for a ceasefire, Trump Kellogg had withdrawn responsibility for Russia. The ex-general is now only responsible for Ukraine. According to US media reports, Russia Kellogg had rejected as too Ukraine-friendly.
