Ukraine: According to the report by The Times, Kellogg outlined a scenario in which British and French troops would be deployed west of the Dnipro River to serve as a “reassurance force,” while Russian troops would retain control over territory they currently occupy in the east.

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – In a startling proposal that has sparked immediate debate across Western capitals, General Keith Kellogg, U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, suggested that Ukraine could be divided into zones of control reminiscent of post-World War II Berlin as part of a prospective ceasefire agreement to end the three-year war with Russia.
According to the report by The Times, Kellogg outlined a scenario in which British and French troops would be deployed west of the Dnipro River to serve as a “reassurance force,” while Russian troops would retain control over territory they currently occupy in the east. Between the opposing forces, a demilitarized zone (DMZ) approximately 18 miles wide would serve as a buffer to prevent hostilities.
“You could almost make it look like what happened with Berlin after World War Two,” Kellogg said. “You’re west of the [Dnipro], which is a major obstacle. It’s a big enough country to accommodate several armies seeking to enforce a ceasefire.”
Although Kellogg emphasized that American troops would not be deployed on the ground, the plan implicitly acknowledges Russia’s de facto control over occupied eastern Ukrainian regions—a stance that could provoke unease in Kyiv and other European capitals.
The remarks came on the same day Trump’s envoy to Russia, Steve Witkoff, held a four-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg. In a post on Truth Social, Trump again urged Putin to agree to a ceasefire, writing: “Russia has to get moving. Too many people are DYING, thousands a week, in a terrible and senseless war — a war that should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened, if I were president!!!”…Read more: Trump Envoy Suggests Berlin-Style Partition of Ukraine
Martin comments: Ukraine to be partitioned into “East” and “West” just like Germany in the Berlin Wall days. What a surprise, never saw that suggestion coming. Pardon my sarcasm.
