The US presidential envoy accused The Times of distorting his remarks.
The US presidential envoy Keith Kellogg accused The Times of distorting his remarks on the Ukraine-controlled areas and clarified that what he said was not "dividing" Ukraine.
According to previous reports by The Times, Kellogg believed that after the conflict ended, Ukraine might be divided into different control zones like "post-war Berlin", but the United States would not send ground troops. According to the report, Kellogg mentioned that armies from multiple countries might be deployed in different control zones; British and French troops could possibly be deployed as "reinsurance forces" in western Ukraine, with "Ukrainian troops and a buffer zone" between them and the Russian army.
Kellogg attached the article on social platform X and wrote, "The Times' article distorted my words. What I said were stabilization forces after the ceasefire, which will maintain Ukraine's sovereignty. When discussing division, I referred to the responsibility areas of allied forces (excluding US forces). My intention was not to divide Ukraine."
