Russia intends to split Ukraine into two nations, similar to North and South Korea, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief said on Sunday.
A local leader in the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic in Ukraine said on Sunday the region could soon hold a vote on joining Russia. Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, said in a statement the vote is “an attempt to create North and South Korea in Ukraine” and predicted the Ukrainian army will push back against Russian forces, according to Reuters.
“In addition, the season of a total Ukrainian guerrilla safari will soon begin,” Budanov said. “Then there will be one relevant scenario left for the Russians, how to survive.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded in a late-night television address on Saturday that Western nations hand over military hardware “gathering dust” in stockpiles, saying Ukraine has “already been waiting 31 days.” He also claimed Ukraine needs just 1% of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s aircraft and 1% of its tanks.
“Who is in charge of the Euro-Atlantic community?” Zelensky asked. “Is it really still Moscow, because of intimidation?”
President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin “a butcher” while meeting with Ukrainian refugees in Poland on Saturday. He implored the people of Russia to “fight the corruption coming from the Kremlin,” saying Putin “cannot remain in power.”
