The retired general assessed in an interview that forces commanded by the French and English, deployed west of the Dniepr River, “They would not provoke Moscow at all “. At the same time, he mentioned that the US would not send their soldiers to Ukraine.

According to the envoy of Trump, that the French-British and Ukrainian forces would not exchange fire with the Russian troops, A buffer zone could be built.
– Looking at the map, you can create, due to a lack of better term, the demilitarized zone. Let's move away (ed.) Both sides by 15 kilometers – he said. The general added that there would probably be violations of this zone, but “it can be easily monitored.”
The general referred to the publication of The Times. Keith Kellogg wrote in social media that The article “Incorrectly presents what he said”.
“I talked about the resistance forces located after suspension of weapons that would support the sovereignty of Ukraine. In discussions about the division, I referred to areas or zones of responsibility of allied forces (without US troops). I did not mean the division of Ukraine ” – he explained.
