One could almost make it look like what happened with Berlin after World War II, when you had a Russian zone, a French zone, a British zone, and an American zone, says Kellogg in an interview with British The Times.
In a post on X, he clarifies after the interview that the USA does not intend to send any soldiers to Ukraine.
Kellogg suggests in The Times interview that the British and French forces could be responsible for areas west of the Dnepr River, with a demilitarized zone separating them from Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory east of the river. According to Kellogg, the Dnepr constitutes a major natural obstacle, and the international force would therefore "not be provocative at all" for Russia.
Kellogg has written on X after the interview that The Times has misinterpreted his statements. He does not believe that Ukraine should be divided, he writes, but meant in the interview different responsibility zones for different peacekeeping forces after the war.
On Friday, Reuters reported that Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff had proposed Russian "ownership" for four Russian-occupied Ukrainian regions. It would constitute the fastest way to reach a ceasefire, Witkoff is said to have told President Trump.
