Ukraine and Russia can freeze the front according to the “Korean scenario”: mass media
The administration of US President Joe Biden believes that the next few months could be decisive in the war in Ukraine. The situation on the front could potentially lead to the start of peace talks on a ceasefire similar to the armistice during the Korean War.
About this write The New York Times.
As the publication writes, in their interviews, American officials express confidence that a number of Russian successes on the front can be reversed as soon as Ukraine begins to receive new weapons in full. Most likely, it will happen in July, NYT notes.
But they dare not make predictions about where the fighting will take place even a few months from now, and whether the armed forces will be able to launch their counteroffensive next year.
U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on Sunday said with some understatement that “there is no question that the long delays in the shipment of weapons have been costly” for Ukraine.
Due to the delay in American funding, Russia was able to achieve a huge artillery advantage over Ukraine. The lack of ammunition for air defense also allowed Russia to use its air power with greater impunity, attacking Ukrainian lines with glider bombs.
There is a growing sense in the Biden administration that the next few months could prove decisive in the war. As the newspaper writes, at some point both sides may move to an agreed cease-fire, a truce similar to the one that ended active hostilities in Korea in 1953, and freeze the front line.
