US wants to ‘freeze’ Ukraine conflict – Politico

A split much like the one in Korea would cost less money and political capital to Washington, the outlet has explained

The administration of US President Joe Biden is reportedly considering ‘freezing’ the conflict in Ukraine for the foreseeable futureinstead of pushing for the country’s victory, according to sources cited by Politico on Thursday. (Bongino says Politico is outlet the admin uses for marching orders to the media)

Three serving and one former US official told the outlet that along-term low-intensity stand-off was currently being discussed in the White House. (So no solution, more death and destruction, they need talking points)

The former official compared the possible scenario to how the Korean War of the early 1950s ended in an armistice.There was no formal peace agreement, and both Pyongyang and Seoul claim sovereignty over the entire Korean Peninsula, with a demilitarized zone separating the two parts. (Zelensky won’t like that but its the only thing Russia wanted, but they will be unending enemies so the news never stops)

“A Korea-style stoppage is certainly something that’s been discussed by experts and analysts in and out of government,” the source said. “It’s plausible, because neither side would need to recognize any new borders and the only thing that would have to be agreed is to stop shooting along a set line.”

The benefits for the US would be that a frozen conflict wouldbe less costly for Western nations and draw less public attention, and consequently less pressure to assist Kiev, the outlet explained.

Ukraine would still be allied with Washington and continue switching its military to NATO standards, as it seeks to join the bloc someday.

The ‘Korean scenario’ for Ukraine drew media attention in January, after Aleksey Danilov, the secretary of the country’s national security council, claimed in an interview that Moscow had sent a top official to European capitals to promote it.

The Kremlin denied that and claimed Danilov may have mistaken a Ukrainian politician surnamed Kazak for his namesake in the Russian government, whom he identified as the messenger.

Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, argued that Danilov’s words were meant for “domestic consumption,” so that the Ukrainian government could measure the public reaction to it. The Russian official mused that “being split is the best-case scenario,” for Kiev, under the circumstances.

Moscow called NATO’s expansion in Europe and its creeping takeover of Ukraine without its formal accession as one of the key reasons for sending troops against its neighbor. The conflict, Russia has maintained, is part of a US proxy war against it, in which Ukrainians serve as cannon fodder.

Kiev says it’s helped by Russian anti-government figures

Ukraine’s top military spy Kirill Budanov says such individuals are being used as informants

The head of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Kirill Budanov claims that Kiev has been “working” with figures within Russia’s opposition movements,who have been providing his agency with information.

In an interview with Ukrainian blogger Sergey Ivanov on Tuesday, the official did not disclose who exactly Kiev had been contacting within the various belligerent groups, but stated that it was “absolutely obvious” that Ukraine is cooperating with Russian anti-government figures.

“They are serving as a source of information for us and as hope for some kind of future,” said Budanov, pointing out that whenever the Russia-Ukraine conflict ends, the two countries would still share a common border and that there would still have to be some sort of relations.

In another interview with philosopher Valery Savchuk published on the same day, the spy chief also admitted that the GUR had “already got a lot” of Russian public figures but refused to confirm or deny the agency’s involvement in any specific assassinations, such as last year’s killing of journalist Darya Dugina or the recent car-bombing of author and political activist Zakhar Prilepin.

In an interview with Yahoo News on May 8, Budanov also stated that Ukraine’s forces “have been killing Russians” and “will keep killing Russians anywhere on the face of this world until the complete victory of Ukraine.”

In response, Moscow has condemned Budanov’s “monstrous” statements. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described them as a “direct confirmation that the Kiev regime is not just sponsoring terrorist activity, but is its organizer.”

As for anti-government groups in Russia, the country’s former president Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, accused the nation’s non-systemic opposition last month of not only openly wishing for the defeat and destruction of Russia, but also of playing a part in the “execution” of their fellow countrymen.

“Terrorism is again on our streets, in our cities,” wrote Medvedev in a lengthy Telegram post shortly after the murder of military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky. “But now, those engaged in terrorism are the same forces which were recently hailed by our Western friends as the ‘honor and conscience of an era’ and as opponents of the ‘authoritarian regime’,” he said.

“The masks are off. This is the true ‘color’ of the non-systemic opposition – it fights against its own people, it blows up and murders,”Medvedev proclaimed, adding that these people have “sworn allegiance to darkness and terror, along with the murderers of their native Kiev Nazi Regime.”
