US EditionKellogg says Ukraine proposed 30-km demilitarized buffer zone, admits Putin main obstacle to ceasefire
- On May 6, 2025, U.S. Special Envoy Keith Kellogg revealed that Ukraine had put forward a plan to establish a 30-kilometer demilitarized buffer area along the front line, with troop withdrawals of 15 kilometers on each side and the zone overseen cooperatively by both Kyiv and Moscow.
- The proposal followed Kyiv’s agreement to a comprehensive 30-day ceasefire while contrasting with Putin’s demands that Ukraine withdraw from multiple annexed oblasts, which Russia does not fully control.
- Each side would pull back 15 kilometers, and third-country observers would monitor the zone, with the arrangement intended to accompany a ceasefire where both sides keep current positions.
- Kellogg identified Putin’s unwillingness to agree to a ceasefire as the primary barrier, noting that once fighting stops, restarting the conflict becomes challenging, while Moscow asserts it has not received any such proposal.
- The offer suggests groundwork for peace but depends on Moscow’s cooperation, as Ukrainians stand ready while U.S. Mediation may cease if talks stall under President Trump’s administration.
