Moscow rejects the idea of a partition, on the Berlin model
The idea of the President's special emissary for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, to divide Ukraine into control areas, like post-war Berlin, reacts to Moscow, even if, in a message on X, the American emissary said that The Times had distorted his words.
The idea is not acceptable to Russia, and could lead to a new escalation, said on Saturday Rodion Miroshnikitinerant ambassador of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs during a live program on the propagandist channel Soloviev Live. According to him ” they [les Ukrainiens] have gathered, analyzed the experience [du conflit]prepared, remotivated tens of thousands of fighters [formés en] Great Britain ”.
Donald Trump claimed on Friday that Moscow “Moves” To find a way out of the conflict in Ukraine. The American president aims to put an end to the hostilities launched by the Kremlin and broke for this, in February, the diplomatic isolation that Westerners imposed on his Russian counterpart. Its administration organizes separate talks with senior Russian and Ukrainian officials, who have not, however, led to a global cessation of fighting. Diplomatic negotiations are extended, without decisive concessions from the Russian government. kyiv and some Western capitals suspect Russia, whose army is more numerous and better equipped on the front, to drag the discussions.
France and Great Britain seek to constitute a “Coalition of voluntary countries” which would dispatch contingents on the Ukrainian soil in the event of a stopping of the fighting, in order to dissuade Russia from later ironing. A deployment that Moscow does not want to hear about.
