Trump envoy suggests ‘zones of control’ in UkraineAFP, LONDONKeith Kellogg, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, suggested British and French troops could adopt zones of control in the country, in an interview with The Times newspaper published yesterday. He suggested that a demilitarized zone could be implemented along the existing lines of control in eastern Ukraine, The Times said. “You have a ... DMZ that you can monitor, and you’ve got this... no-fire zone,” Kellogg said. Kellogg admitted that Russian President Vladimir Putin “might not accept” the proposal. London and Paris describe the possible deployment as a “reassurance force” aimed at offering Ukraine some kind of security guarantee.
