US Preparing For Ukraine War To Become A ‘Frozen Conflict’<\/span><\/p>\n

The Biden administration is preparing for the war in Ukraine to turn into a frozen conflict for years or possibly even decades, similar to the situation on the Korean peninsula,\u00a0POLITICO<\/em>\u00a0reported on Thursday.<\/a><\/p>\n

US officials have been discussing the possibility, including potential options for where to draw the lines for a frozen conflict that either side would agree not to cross. The report said the idea of freezing the fighting could be a \u201cpolitically palatable long-term result.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The administration is considering the possibility because they don\u2019t expect Ukraine to regain much territory in its long-awaited counteroffensive. According to\u00a0POLITICO<\/em>, the US is expecting that the assault \u201cwon\u2019t deal a mortal blow to Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n

A US official said the administration is preparing to support Ukraine for the long term, whether the conflict is frozen or not. \u201cWe are planning for the long term, whether it looks frozen or thawed,\u201d the official told\u00a0POLITICO<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That long-term support would involve continuing to arm Ukraine and trying to make the country\u2019s military more interoperable with NATO. Some NATO members are looking to upgrade Ukraine\u2019s status within the alliance. The US and NATO members in western Europe are reluctant to give Kyiv a concrete path to membership, but some new guarantees are expected in the future.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0POLITICO<\/em>, new guarantees for Ukraine could range from \u201ca NATO-style Article 5 mutual defense deal to Israel-style arms deals with Ukraine as a deterrent against Russia.\u201d US officials said at a minimum, NATO would ensure Ukraine\u2019s weapons are compatible with the alliance and conduct joint training with Ukrainian troops.<\/p>\n

Since one of Russia\u2019s main motives for invading Ukraine was its alignment with NATO, and its main demand during short-lived negotiations in the early days of the war was\u00a0Ukrainian neutrality<\/a>, a frozen conflict that involves NATO continuing to arm Kyiv would likely not be acceptable to Moscow. While Russian officials\u00a0have expressed an openness to negotiations<\/a>, the Kremlin has said it believes Russia\u2019s goals\u00a0can only be achieved through military means.<\/a><\/p>\n

If the conflict is frozen along the current battle lines, Ukraine would lose significantly more territory than if it negotiated a deal with Moscow shortly after the invasion. But the peace talks were\u00a0discouraged by the US and its allies<\/a>, and the Biden administration still shows no interest in pushing for a lasting diplomatic solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
