Peace is easy. Just share Ukraine in Berlin

The US President’s special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, admitted in an interview with the division of the country in three separated areas in a peace agreement with Russia, comparing the solution with Germany post-World War.

In an interview with the British newspaper, the special envoy of the US president to Ukraine, Keith Kelloggproposed the creation of a “security force” led by the United Kingdom and France in western Ukraine.

The plan would also go through concentrating the Ukrainian troops to the east of the dnipro river, serving this as separation line between the two zones.

The Ukrainian territories currently under occupation would be controlled by the Russian forces.

“I could almost do Something similar to 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 said.

At the end of World War II, Berlin was divided between the winning countries – US, United Kingdom, France and Soviet Union – although the city is entirely within the Soviet zone of Germany. The Soviet sector became Eastern Berlin, and was separated from the three Western sectors, until 1989, Berlin Wall.

Although the Kremlin repeatedly rejected the idea That European troops monitor a ceasefire in Ukraine, Kellogg said that a force led by the United Kingdom and France in western Ukraine “It would be nothing provocative”For Russia.

“It would be west of Dnipro, which is a major obstacle“Said the US general, who despite being sent to Ukraine has been secondary to the role in relation to Steve WitkoffPresident Donald Trump’s emissary for the Middle East.

Kellogg also proposed the creation of a Demilitarized zone of 29 kilometers In eastern Ukraine, along the current front line, to serve as a barrier between the Russian and Western troops.

“Look at a map and create, to the lack of better term, a DMZ – A demilitarized zone. Both sides 15 kilometers are taken“Kellogg said,“ and we would have a DMZ that can be monitored, and this ceasefire zone can be monitored quite easily, ”he said.

The concept of a DMZ to separate two belligerent countries is being applied to the Korea Peninsula, where A strip of land about 250 km long and 4 km wide Separates North Korea from South Korea since the end of the Korea War in 1953.

Although it is called “demilitarized”, There is a strong military presence On the two banks of the area-both northern Korean and South Korean, in this case with US support. The track has been uninhabited for decadeshaving become an unexpected refuge for wildlife, with several rare species of flora and fauna.

Russia may not accept

The US general has admitted that Russia may not accept the proposal and that the conditions of ceasefire may be violated.

“Now, Will there be violations? Probably because there is always. But our ability to monitor this is easy, ”he said.

Kellogg also said that Washington would not send terrestrial troops for the security force in Ukraine, and warned France and the United Kingdom not to have US support to the call, which committed to giving themselves safety guarantees to Ukraine After a ceasefire.

“Always plan for the worst scenario“Kellogg advised.

After more than three years of war and limited progress towards a truce, several countries expressed support for the idea of ​​a European military presence Maintaining peace in Ukraine, offering even to be part of it when the conflict is over.

Kellogg also added that the coalition security force would be able to send an effective message to the Russian PresidentVladimir Putin.

Kellogg’s comments mark the first time that a high authority American proposes DNIPRO as a demarcation line in Ukraine in the postwar.

Ukraine may not accept

Kellogg’s proposal comes on the same day that Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, met in St. Petersburg with Russian President Vladimir Putin, to discuss a future peace agreement in Ukraine.

Kellogg’s plan, however, would imply russian the regions illegally occupiedand the Ukrainian President Kellogg has already stated that his country will never recognize these territories as legally Russians.

Trump expressed frustration on Friday with the lack of progress between Ukraine and Russia through the White House spokesman.

“President Trump was very clear By expressing the continuous frustration with both sides of this conflict and wants to see the end of the war, ”the spokesman told the White House.

However, the spokeswoman has indicated that the United States has enough influence to negotiate a peace agreement and Trump is determined to move forward.

The Republican politician, who in January defended an approach to Kremlin and in the catastrophic meeting to three in the White House, he recently expressed dissatisfaction with continuous bombing Russians in Ukraine and Moscow’s lack of commitment to a truce.

Kellogg clarifies interview

Already this Saturday, Keith Kellogg sought to clarify in his account of the social network X that At no time did it defend “a division” from Ukraine.

“O The Times misrepresent what I said“Says the American special envoy in his in X.

“I was talking about a strength of resistance Post-sectional fire in support of the sovereignty of Ukraine. I was referring to the responsibility areas of an allied force (without American troops). I was not referring to a division of Ukraine“Details Kellogg.
