 Ukraine war could end just like the Korean War. US Navy Admiral James Stavridis. The end of the Ukraine war could look a lot like that of the Korean war, with parts of Ukraine remaining occupied by Russian forces, says a former NATO Supreme Allied commander, according to Insider. Ultimately, this will end like the Korean War, meaning that Russia will probably still have control of some portion of Ukraine, Crimea, the land bridge to Russia, retired US Navy Admiral James Stavridis, said on the cat's round table a radio interview. On the other hand, I see Ukraine coming into NATO, Stavridis added. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. The long-drawn conflict has seen Russia grappling with the West's crippling sanctions and Ukraine leaning on Western support for their war efforts. Both Russia and Ukraine are increasingly exhausted by this war in terms of their military capability, and in terms of the economic sanctions that are being applied on both sides. Stavridis told radio host John Katzimatidis. When I kind of put it all together, John, I think toward the end of this year, probably after the US elections, we've got a moment for potential negotiation. Stavridis said.
