A Ukrainian soldier prepares a mortar before shooting a target in the direction of Bakhmut, where clashes between Russia and Ukraine continue to take place, in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, on January 26, 2024. — "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," former NATO supreme allied commander James Stavridis said in a radio interview.

Retired US Navy Adm. James Stavridis says the war in Ukraine could end like the Korean War.
Stavridis said both Russia and Ukraine "are increasingly exhausted by this war."
This, he says, could lead to both countries being open to negotiations toward the end of 2024.

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.
