Serbian president says Russia-Ukraine war could end in “Korean scenario”

In an interview with Informer, as reported by LIGA.net, Vučić stated, "I am saying this publicly for the first time: ultimately, there will be peace along the lines that are reached according to the 'Korean scenario.'"

He believes that the "fight for every village and city" will continue in Ukraine for now, without any quick resolutions to the war. 

"As of today, there can be no peace because the Russians are destroying everything, and they have a psychological advantage on the battlefield," he added.

Vučić also pointed out that Ukraine is not a top priority for the United States. He noted that American concerns are primarily focused on "migration, economy, and healthcare."

Additionally, Vučić commented on U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, describing him as "business-oriented" and someone who will "look for solutions" to the ongoing war.

The "Korean scenario" refers to the outcome of the war between North and South Korea from 1950 to 1953, which resulted in a truce but no official peace treaty, leaving the two Koreas technically still at war. It involved freezing the front line and establishing a demilitarized zone.

For Ukraine, this scenario could mean relinquishing temporarily occupied territories in favor of Russia.
