A senior Ukrainian official said that Russia might offer Ukraine what he called the "38th parallel" option to establish a truce between the two countries, which means dividing Ukraine into two parts.
"The Korean scenario is currently being offered to us. The so-called 38th parallel, the Russians will now invent anything. And I know for sure that one of the options they can offer us is the 38th parallel," said Secretary General of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov. Ukrainian national news "Ukrinform".
Danilov added to Ukrainian TV that Dmitry Kozak, Deputy Director of the Russian President's Office, is in the process of meeting former politicians in Europe, and conveyed a message through them that the Russians are ready to make concessions in order to fix the current situation and force Ukraine into an armistice.
On the other hand, Danilov said, during a recent meeting, Korean representatives made it clear that dividing the Korean Peninsula into two parts along the 38th parallel was a mistake, because the concessions made in the 1950s after the end of the war between North Korea and South Korea caused Currently in many problems.
The 38th parallel is roughly the middle of the Korean Peninsula.
In 1948 this boundary became the official border between North and South Korea.
