US Special Representative for Ukraine Keith Kellogg claims that The Times distorted his words about the “partition of Ukraine”. He wrote about this on his X account.
Kellogg emphasized that he did not mean to divide Ukraine by his idea of a “pacification force” after the ceasefire in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty.
“The Times article misrepresents what I said. I was speaking of a post-cease fire resiliency force in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty. In discussions of partitioning, I was referencing areas or zones of responsibility for an allied force (without US troops). I was NOT referring to a partitioning of Ukraine,” Kellogg wrote.
As reported, Keith Kellogg said that Ukraine could be divided “almost like Berlin after World War II” as part of a peace agreement.
“President Trump’s envoy to Ukraine has said the country could be partitioned “almost like Berlin after World War Two” as part of a peace deal,” The Times wrote.
The Times wrote that he had suggested that British and French troops could take control of the zones in the west of the country as part of a “pacification force,” and the Russian army could take control of the occupied east. In between would be Ukrainian troops and a demilitarized zone.
