After the failures near Kyiv and inability to overthrow the central government of Ukraine, there is reason to believe that Putin is considering a "Korean" scenario for Ukraine, that is, a division into two competing states.
This opinion was voiced by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Brigadier General Kyrylo Budanov.
"After the failures near Kyiv and the inability to overthrow the central government of Ukraine, Putin is already changing the main operational directions — these are the south and east. There is reason to believe that he is considering the Korean scenario for Ukraine. That is, he will try to impose a dividing line between the non-occupied and occupied regions of our country. Actually, this is an attempt to create North and South Korea in Ukraine. After all, he is definitely not able to devour the entire state," Budanov believes.
He is convinced that the issue of establishing a land corridor to Crimea is still pressing for the Russian fascist regime. There is a major problem in implementing this plan — Mariupol. The hero-city on the Sea of Azov fettered significant enemy forces.
"The invaders will try to cobble together the occupied territories into a single quasi-state formation that they will counterpose to independent Ukraine. We already see an attempt to create "parallel" authorities in the occupied territories and force people to give up the hryvnia," Budanov said.
Also, this issue may become a subject of bargaining at the international level.
"But the resistance and rallies of our citizens in the occupied territories, the counterattacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the gradual liberation (of the occupied territories — 
) significantly complicate implementing the enemy’s plans," the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense clarified.
He also added that the season of "total Ukrainian partisan safari" is about to begin. This scenario will leave only one actual option for the Russians — how to survive.
