The special representative of Trump Kit Kellogo gave an interview to The Times, telling about the “peaceful plan”, according to which it is proposed to divide Ukraine “as it was in Berlin after the Second World War”-the East controls the West-the Anglo-French forces.
KELLOLA also noted that Russia, which opposes the introduction of any troops of the NATO countries into Ukraine after the ceasefire, can oppose the proposal.
The Times notes that these statements give one of the most clear ideas about the vision of Trump to the future of Ukraine from those who are involved in the planning of the ceasefire. This is also the first assumption of a senior American official that the Dnieper can become a demarcation line in one form or another in Ukraine after the ceasefire, although Kelloga did not advocate the transfer of any territories east of the river to Moscow.
A few hours before the release of the Times, the media published the proposal of the special Superior Trump Stephen Witkoff, who met Putin on the same day in St. Petersburg. Whitkoff invited Trump to give Russia four Ukrainian regions in order to cease.
Russia previously stated that Ukraine wants to withdraw troops from the four eastern regions - Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya - reduced the army and refused to join NATO.
Ukraine, which, unlike Nazi Germany in 1945, has a valid and pro-Western government, may consider a comparison with post-war Berlin, to put it mildly, tactless, especially since one of the groundless excuses of the Russian invasion was the “de-nazification” of the country.
There are clear differences between the proposal of Kelloglog and the section of Berlin and Germany after the Second World War. While Germany was forced to surrender to the armies of the invasion, Ukraine would invite allies to ensure the “security forces” in the west of the country, and there are no assumptions that Russia will be transferred to any additional territories. Despite the fact that the analogy is unconvincing, the symbolism of the wording is just a few weeks before the 80th anniversary of Victory Day amazes, Times notes.
Later, Kellog accused The Times of distorting his words about the “division of Ukraine”.
“The article by Times distorts what I said. I talked about the forces of ensuring stability after the ceasefire that would support the sovereignty of Ukraine. In the discussions of the section, I meant the region or zone of responsibility of the Union forces (without US troops), ”said the special representative of Trump.
