The Washington Post reported, citing expert analysis, that Ukraine and Russia could continue an ultra-long standoff without an 'end of the war' just like the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
The WP introduced that after the two Koreas signed an armistice in 1953, the war has not officially ended, and that the level of conflict sometimes soars at the border between the two Koreas (the armistice line) where heavily armed soldiers are deployed.
He pointed out that if the confrontation between the currently occupied territory of Russia and the rest of the Ukrainian-controlled territory becomes prolonged, there is a possibility that a structure similar to the North-South confrontation on the Korean Peninsula will be formed between the two regions.
The WP also analyzed that it would be difficult for Ukraine to defeat Russian forces in the recently fiercely contested eastern Donbas region.
Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently analyzed that "even if Russia suffers from command system instability, morale, and logistics problems, the situation in eastern Ukraine is more inclined toward Russia."
In fact, after failing to occupy Kiiu in the early stages of the war and changing the target to 'attack Donbas', Russia is gradually expanding its occupation area by destroying key bases in Ukraine with long-range missiles, etc.
Accordingly, the West is preparing for a prolonged war by constantly sending aid supplies to prevent Ukraine from being defeated.
This is an effort to prevent the worst possible outcome if Ukraine loses, the WP analyzed.
The United States is in a situation where it has no choice but to continue providing aid to Ukraine despite adverse effects such as a global economic recession or a food crisis in order to prevent a catastrophe that Russian President Putin spreads beyond Ukraine to neighboring NATO member states.
