President Trump’s envoy to Ukraine has said the country could be partitioned “almost like Berlin after World War Two” as part of a peace deal.
General Keith Kellogg, a leading figure in US efforts to end the three-year war, suggested that British and French troops could adopt zones of control in the west of the country as part of a “reassurance force”, with Russia’s army in the occupied east. Between them would be Ukrainian forces and a demilitarised zone.
Kellogg, 80, said the Anglo-French-led force west of the Dnipro river, which bisects Ukraine from north to south and runs through Kyiv, would “not be provocative at all” to Moscow. He said Ukraine was a big enou

Well what section does France get?
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Riyadh for the first high-level, face-to-face talks between the two countries since the invasion, and agreed to appoint teams to start negotiating the end of the war.
Lavrov said his country would not accept peacekeeping forces from Nato countries in Ukraine under any peace deal, a proposal raised at a meeting of European members of Nato in Paris on Monday.
The Korean War never ended.
Merely, a “cease fire in place” . On the line between the two static trenches where they stalemated.

Kiev: Nyet!

Moscow: Nyet!
It’s time for Team Trump to take a week off playing golf.
They already surrendered.
The battle-hardened Ukrainian army is probably tougher and more capable than all the armies of the EU and UK.
To the victor belongs the spoils.
“ Well what section does France get?”
A 1000 sq mile tract of land 800 miles north of Thule.
The section that makes the best cheese!

Give Russia Eastern Ukraine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Ukraine) in exchange for America getting 50% ownership of all natural resources in Eastern Ukraine, including rare earth.
France would surrender before any offer could be sent to them.
Yeah, the three that are left.
They didn't think too hard, because the French government skedaddled on June 10th, 1940, four days before the Nazis showed up.
Neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians will accept it so it is a non-starter.
