Strategic Calls in Washington to End the Ukraine War and Avoid a "Korean Stagnation" Scenario

Calls within strategic circles in the United States have intensified, urging the acceleration of a political settlement to end the armed conflict in Ukraine, following high-level diplomatic communications between the US and Russian leaderships. International security experts warned that prolonging the war no longer serves Washington's supreme strategic interests. They cautioned against the risk of the conflict sliding into a prolonged state of military stalemate, often referred to as a "Korean model" of an unresolved ceasefire. Analytical perspectives emphasized that adopting a diplomatic approach leading to a swift end to the crisis has become the optimal choice for promoting and protecting American interests on the international stage.
