Trump Envoy Proposes Partition of Ukraine with Anglo-French Peacekeeping Plan
General Keith Kellogg outlines a strategy to divide Ukraine, establish a demilitarized zone, and deploy a European-led force as part of efforts to negotiate a ceasefire with Russia.
- General Keith Kellogg has proposed partitioning Ukraine, drawing comparisons to postwar Berlin, as part of a peace deal to end the ongoing conflict.
- The plan includes an 18-mile demilitarized zone along current frontlines to separate Ukrainian and Russian forces and prevent direct clashes.
- An Anglo-French-led 'reassurance force' would oversee zones of control in western Ukraine, while Russian forces remain in the occupied east.
- Kellogg emphasized that the United States will not contribute ground troops, signaling a shift towards European-led efforts in peace enforcement.
- President Trump is pressing Russia to engage in ceasefire negotiations, with his envoy holding talks with Vladimir Putin to advance the proposed settlement.
