Trump's envoy says Poland could join "resilience force" west of Dnipro River in Ukraine

Keith Kellogg, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine, says the deployment of foreign forces west of the Dnipro River is being discussed as part of a potential resolution to the full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine.

Details: The special envoy emphasised that the US is primarily advocating for a "comprehensive ceasefire", after which the parties will have to discuss other issues, including the status of certain territories, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the return of Ukrainian children, and Ukraine’s prospects for NATO membership.

Quote: "We’re talking about the resiliency force… we’re talking about the Brits, the French, as well as the Germans, and now actually the Poles, to have a force west of the Dnipro River, which means it’s out of contact range [with Russia]."

Details: Meanwhile, Kellogg said, a "peacekeeping force" could be deployed east of the Dnipro River with a third party involved "so you can actually monitor the ceasefire".

It should be noted that the current Polish leadership has been consistent in its position that it has no plans to send troops to Ukraine, so it remains unclear exactly what Kellogg meant.

Background:

• On 13 May, Reuters and CNN reported that Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg, US President Donald Trump’s special envoys, will travel to Istanbul, where talks between Ukraine and Russia may take place on Thursday.
• Andrii Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said that if Putin refuses to attend talks in Türkiye, this will indicate that Russia does not want to end the war.
