Proposal would require Zelensky to cede control of eastern areas under Russian control

Ukraine could be divided like Berlin after the Second World War, Donald Trump’s envoy to the war-torn nation has said.
Keith Kellogg suggested that Ukraine could be partitioned with a British and French-controlled zone in the west and Russian forces stationed in the east as part of a peace deal to bring the war to an end.
“You could almost make it look like what happened with Berlin after the Second World War, when you had a Russian zone, a French zone, and a British zone, a US zone,” he told The Times, before clarifying that the US would not provide any ground troops under this scenario.
The proposal would require Ukraine to cede control of its eastern territories, which are currently under Russian control.
Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly voiced opposition to relinquishing land to Russia without Nato protection for its remaining territories.
“Ukraine will never recognise territories that are occupied by Russia as Russian territory. For us, this will be temporary occupations,” he said in March, adding: “Our territories and our values are not for sale.”
Russia is staunchly against any Nato protections for Ukraine, while the Trump administration has signalled its opposition to the country joining the military alliance.

This is the putrid scoundrel that wrote a surrender document entitled “America First”, one year ago.
He was sidelined; fantastically for being “too pro-Ukraine.”
That’s what passes for pro-Ukraine in the criminal Krasnov regime.
Still, he was replaced with the most verminous trump-hired putinoid trash yet: official putler ball-licker Steve Witless.
Trump will never even be remotely considered a great president, nor a good one, and not even a mediocre one. Trump will forever be known as America’s very worst. I am convinced of this. And part of the reason is the ill-educated and evil-hearted people he chose for his team.
