Russia is seeking to split Ukraine in two, mirroring the partition of the Korean peninsula into North and South Korea, Kyiv’s top military intelligence officer said yesterday.

 

Brigadier General Kyrylo Budanov warned that President Putin’s failure to capture the capital and overthrow the Zelensky government could mean he will try to cut his losses.

 

“There are reasons to believe he may try to impose a separation line between the occupied and unoccupied regions of our country,” Budanov said. “It will be an attempt to set up South and North Koreas in Ukraine.”

The warning came as peace talks were set to resume in Turkey this week after Russia signalled a change of strategy, claiming to have switched its focus to “liberating” Ukraine’s south and east.
