Ukraine may repeat the fate of Korea, which was divided in order to achieve peace, writes “Washington Post”.
David Ignatius, an expert on international relations in the American edition, believes that Ukraine can repeat the “Korean version” – the division of the country into two parts.
He says Biden can do with Ukraine what the United States once did with Korea, where it failed to achieve its goals by military means.
He writes that the ceasefire in 1953 seemed like a defeat to many, but today South Korea is one of the world’s economic pearls. This may be the prospect for post-war Ukraine, Ignatius said.
“Despite the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kyiv, Moscow has made significant progress in Donbass. Washington’s European allies are already alarmed and worried about the costs of the ongoing conflict. This is a turning point for the US president. There will probably be behind-the-scenes talks now. with Russia and at some point direct negotiations will begin to resolve this terrible conflict. “
Ignatius, following a number of his colleagues, reiterated that claims of a quick victory over Russia were fading quickly and that parting Ukraine could be the step to prevent a grueling Korean-style war.
