[REGNUM] US officials began to discuss the possibility of freezing the conflict in Ukraine for years, following the example of the Korean crisis. This was reported by the newspaper Politico on May 18 , citing its sources.
According to journalists, the White House is considering the option in which Russia and Ukraine agree not to cross certain borders, and these borders do not have to be official.
"Discussions - although preliminary - took place in various US agencies and in the White House ," the publication said.
The authors of the material noted that such a development could be supported with a high degree of probability, given that the United States began to doubt the effectiveness of the large-scale counteroffensive promised by Kiev. It will also reduce US spending on military support for Ukraine.
“We are planning for the long term, whether the [conflict] is considered frozen or thawed,” an official familiar with the White House discussions told reporters.
