Not sure that you understand me correctly (or that I correctly expressed myself). Under the Donbas stalemate I meant what was happening in 2015-2022 between Ukraine and rebel regions (Russia) - a constant smoldering of the conflict; ineffective agreements (the Minsk Accords) that were used as an excuse by each side in blaming the other one; a big war as the result of this stalemate.
If this stalemate is proposed as some method to stop the war, then it isn't worth a try.
then they will just have to fight it 5 years from now. The situation isn't truly comparable to the Koreas as that was more like a civil war, and the lines settled after a few years of senseless fighting that didn't see the lines moved. Also it was across the entire peninsula making drawing a line easier.
This is two different countries, two different peoples, and the lines are like a giant semi-circle encasing the Donbas AND the Crimea.
