A huge carousel of peace projects has appeared in recent months. OfUkrainefrom RussiaOf The United StatesDealThe European Unionfrom China. Needless to say, none of these alleged documents, which have never been read by anyone with an official seal, are admissible to other parties. No agreement has yet been signed by the parties involved, Russia and Ukraine, nor by its main instigator. Dispute by proxy: America.
We’ve heard a lot about it in recent weeks. Piano KelloggIt is named after retired General Keith Kellogg, who was appointed by Donald Trump as special envoy for the Russian-Ukraine war. Three-quarters of the world’s media have praised it, in fact. Less than a program. Because it lacks the most important elements.
The Peace That Doesn’t Exist: What Is the US Kellogg Plan for Ukraine?
The infamous Kellogg Plan is nothing more than a folder containing a few papers that the retired general of the same name presented to the President-elect. at his Mar-a-Lago resort in MayBefore his victory in the presidential elections could even be imagined. Donald Trump was determined to play the election card. “I will end all wars” And he was definitely going to work. Always and in all circumstances in the name of slogan “America First”a mantra that once again determined his success with the American electorate. Since the war in Ukraine is a proxy war. America fights Russia “from afar”.the alleged plan will be decisive for the fate of all parties involved.
Unlike four years ago, there are now more American devices. Willing to open up to Russia.Instead of continuing its strict and pure containment. America feels and wants all the fatigue of overexposure on multiple fronts. Representative of Kyiv’s support to EU states. To prevent the unshakable position of the government Vladimir Zelenskywhich by decree cannot negotiate treaties with Russia Vladimir Putin would be in power, Kellogg provides a form of plan. Blackmail. If Kiev does not agree to negotiate with Moscow, the new US Congress (now Republican-held) The military will stop or severely limit supplies.. We have already found another part of the Kellogg program in the latest statements of the President of Ukraine, when he said that the country “He has no power” to reconquer the territories. occupied by the Russians. The document sent to Trump states that Ukraine should not “legally” recognize Moscow’s annexation of these territories, but only the impossibility of recapturing them by military means.
Russia, another party included in the proposed roadmap to the US president, has also been addressed. for Convince him to sit at the negotiating table.Two guarantees will be prepared beforehand:
- That the Russian delegation will be treated equally with the American delegation.
- That Ukraine will not join NATO for the next 20 years in exchange for partnership with the EU.
Conversely, the Kremlin must agree to create one. Demilitarized Zone Right in his area. An indigestible position for Moscow, which for this and other reasons will not sign the document. Trump’s future cabinet is confident of complementary Russian fatigue, which has emerged Chaos spread in Syria. And in the middle of one Economic and demographic crisis. Ships leaving Syrian ports are still there. Off the Mediterranean Sea And, contrary to various media reports, they won’t be able to take shelter nearby. Libya. The base in Cyrenaica does not yet exist and its construction, if approved by both sides, would cost money and time. And both are lacking. Even on the Ukrainian side, Kiev pretended not to give up its territories in return. Will receive Russian energy suppliesEssential for the reconstruction process.
Because peace is yet to be established in Ukraine.
More than being written, peace seems to be signed, we might say. There is a well-founded suspicion that Trump I haven’t even read the Kellogg Plan. Or, in any case, he hasn’t expressed an opinion on the matter. Beyond rhetorical statements like “I will end all wars,” the president-elect has never actually said how he plans to proceed with Moscow and Kiev. Doubt turns into evidence if we consider a question: In the United States, before the new president took office, Content transfer Between the old and new administrations. Abroad They call it “briefing”. And it happens strictly off-camera, without announcements, and usually lasts for several days.
During this period, the incoming president is welcomed. The Pentagon And various military situations around the world are informed. Not only at the informational level, but at the operational level, though the President is not a technician but merely a cog in the state machine. And here it comes. The first difference: The Kellogg plan dates back to May, when Trump was still a candidate, while he will face it in January. A very different situation About the Russian-Ukraine conflict. The reality is that defense forces will reveal technical details, even the most critical ones, that were previously misrepresented for electoral purposes.
Trump and the Pentagon will undoubtedly serve America’s interests. But they will have to be careful not to pay an uncomfortable price for wanting to open up to Russia, which will certainly be able to assert itself at home. “America Defeated” In case of favorable negotiations. This is one A strategic goal for Putinwhich has reflected and identified the entire population in the largest country on the planet in an anti-Western narrative. Likewise, the Propaganda It is also fundamental to the US, which will not be seen as “weak” under any circumstances. Even at the cost of making Ukrainians pay the full price, after everything they have already suffered.
