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, claims that as part of a potential resolution to the full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine, the deployment of foreign forces west of the Dnipro River is being discussed. Source: Kellogg on Fox News, as reported by European Pravda 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.

Details: Meanwhile, according to Kellogg, a "peacekeeping force" could be deployed east of the Dnipro River with the participation of a third country "so you can actually monitor the ceasefire".
It should be noted that refusal to send troops to Ukraine is a consistent position of the current Polish leadership, so it remains unclear what exactly Kellogg meant.
