Donald Trump’s special representative on the Ukrainian issue is General Keith Kellogg refuted information from the British media regarding the alleged “division of Ukraine following the example of Berlin” proposed by him. According to Kellogg, it was only about the areas of responsibility of the Allies in the event of a ceasefire.
“The Times article misinterprets my words. I was talking about a cease-fire recovery force in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty. In the partition discussions, I meant areas of responsibility for allied forces (without US troops). I was not talking about the partition of Ukraine.” Kellogg explained.
It will be recalled that on April 11, the general suggested that British and French troops could act as “pacifying forces” in western Ukraine, while Russian units would remain in the occupied territories in the east. Ukrainian troops would be stationed between them, and a demilitarized zone would also be created.
He noted that the presence of Anglo-French forces west of the Dnieper, which divides the territory of Ukraine, “will not be provocative at all” for Russia. According to the special representative, the size of Ukraine allows for the simultaneous deployment of several armies, the purpose of which is to maintain the ceasefire regime.
“It could be made to resemble what happened to Berlin after World War II, when there was a Russian zone, a French zone, a British zone and an American zone.”, – he noted.
