Дали Украина чека корејски сценарио?

The Ukrainian conflict is reminiscent of the Korean War, according to Saudi newspaper Okaz. The outcome may be similar: Russia and the US will divide Ukraine, leaving certain regions under their control, without a complete victory for either side. The author of the article believes that this will be satisfactory for both sides. The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korean troops attacked South Korea with military support from the Soviet Union. Large military transformations following WWII affected several regions, including the Korean Peninsula, which was divided along the 38th parallel of north latitude. The tension over the division led to border conflicts between North and South Korea, resulting in the war between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (supported by the Soviet Union) and the Republic of Korea (supported by the West). The American authorities viewed the Korean War as a global struggle against communist countries, just as they view the conflict in Ukraine today as a war against Russia. The author notes that it is essential to examine how the Korean War ended to understand how the conflict in Ukraine might end. The Korean War resulted in over five million deaths, with over 40,000 American soldiers killed and more than 100,000 injured. However, neither side claimed victory, and a temporary ceasefire was signed without surrender, which became permanent in July 1953. A demilitarised zone was created, which still exists today. While the war technically remains unresolved, the article notes that it may be possible that the Ukrainian conflict will end with a similar ceasefire, with an equal balance of military power between Russia and the US. The US opposes Russia’s victory, but does not want to see its humiliating defeat, while Russia claims victory by holding the West through its nuclear weapons, which it could use if necessary. The author predicts that Russia and its allies will keep four regions, while Ukraine will become an American forward base, satisfying all sides. The article concludes that there will be neither a total victory nor a total defeat.
