The comments come after Russia said it would focus its war efforts on 'liberating' eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine's military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said Sunday that he believes Russia wants to split the country in two, likening the ongoing conflict to the division of North and South Korea after World War II.
"In addition, the season of a total Ukrainian guerrilla safari will soon begin. Then there will be one relevant scenario left for the Russians: how to survive," he said. A top Ukrainian official said Sunday that Russia is attempting to divide the country into two, like North and South Korea.

Following Russia's annex of Crimea in 2014, rebels loyal to Moscow seized government buildings in Donetsk and Luhansk, and began a long and bloody process of claiming the region as their own.
