US Envoy Proposes Controlled Zones in Ukraine to Facilitate Ceasefire

Keith Kellogg suggests British and French forces oversee zones west of the Dnipro River, aiming to safeguard Ukrainian sovereignty without provoking Russia.

• US envoy Keith Kellogg has proposed the creation of controlled zones in Ukraine, modeled after post-WWII Berlin, as part of a ceasefire framework.
• The zones would be managed by British and French forces, focusing on defending Ukrainian sovereignty without partitioning the country.
• Kellogg emphasized that US troops would not participate in these peacekeeping efforts, aiming to avoid direct provocations with Russia.
• The proposal comes as ceasefire negotiations, initiated by the US in February, remain stalled due to complex international dynamics.
• President Trump has increased pressure on Russia to act, while Kellogg's reassignment limits his role to Ukraine-related matters following disputes over his stance.
