Everyone distorted it: Kellogg explained his words about the 'division' of Ukraine.

U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, stated that his remarks about the division of Ukraine's territory were misrepresented in the British newspaper The Times.

He wrote about this on social media Twitter on April 11.

In a conversation with The Times, Kellogg spoke about the idea of a possible division of Ukraine into zones where troops from different countries could be stationed, comparing it to the division of Berlin after World War II. He also noted that the Dnipro River could become a demarcation zone after a ceasefire.

Additionally, Kellogg expressed the opinion that the Russian army could be present in certain regions of Ukraine, such as Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk. He suggested that there could be Ukrainian troops and a demilitarized zone between Russian forces and Western powers.

However, The Times noted that Ukraine has asked its allies to provide 'stabilizing forces' in the western part of the country without any assumptions about dividing other territories in favor of Russia.

Kellogg responded to this publication on social media, stating that his words were incorrectly presented. He explained that when he spoke about division, he meant zones of responsibility for allies (excluding American troops) and did not intend to imply a division of Ukraine.

'The Times article twisted what I said. I talked about stabilizing forces after a ceasefire to support Ukraine's sovereignty. When I spoke about division, I meant zones of responsibility for allies (without American troops). I did not mean a division of Ukraine.'

Earlier, Kellogg had spoken about how Trump aims to achieve a full ceasefire in Ukraine.
