Kellogg pondered the legal status of TOT UkraineHe noted that the Russian Federation actually controls the Luhansk region, but only partially controls Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson.
This in turn raises questions.
The question arises what will the situation look like in the future What are the real territorial achievements Keith Kellogg Trumps special envoy for Ukraine The special envoy emphasized that in any scenario of the end of the war, it is important to distinguish between de facto and legal control.
Russia holds the occupied territories and does not intend to leave them, but from a legal point of view, these lands remain Ukrainian.And here you need to distinguish between de facto and de jure.
De facto means that they have physically occupied the territory and are not going to leave it.
But de jure you cannot say that you have completely annexed it.
The international community does not recognize this territory as part of Russia.
These are the difficult discussions that still need to be held.Kellogg explained that, in his opinion, in order to find a political solution, it is necessary to understand the positions of both sides.
Then, a compromise must be found that will at least partially satisfy both Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
At the same time, he added that neither side will get everything it wants.
I think we need to get what you could call a technical brief.
What do the Ukrainians want What do the Russians want Then we need to bring those positions together and find an option that maybe satisfies both sides.
But of course, neither side will get everything they want.
