Zelensky says demilitarized zone idea 'dead,' European Pravda reports
- On May 10, 2024, in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that proposals for a demilitarized zone in the conflict are no longer considered viable.
- This statement followed United States envoy Keith Kellogg’s May 7 claim that Kyiv proposed a 30-kilometer buffer zone controlled by both sides and monitored by third countries.
- Zelensky contradicted Kellogg, noted the frontline’s complexity, and said a demilitarized zone would risk losing control of key Ukrainian cities.
- He said, “the idea is currently dead” and emphasized securing a 30-day ceasefire starting May 12, which Russia’s Kremlin rejected if Ukraine kept receiving Western arms.
- Zelensky’s rejection suggests Ukraine views a demilitarized zone as impractical now and prioritizes a ceasefire before further negotiations.
