[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.

#4  Then they will die for nothing.

Russians can not be trusted with any agreement. Witness Budapest Agreement whee Russia guarantees Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for Ukraine disarming nukes and returning or destroying their ICBMs, IRBMs and strategic bombers.

#3  The Russians are not going to stop until they have a defensible border. Something like the Dnieper River. After getting burned on Minsk II, which Merkel admitted was a scheme to buy time, the Russians will want something sturdier than paper.
