Just surrender already.
I work with an know Ukrainians in Ukraine.
They do not want to surrender as their feeling is that it would mean their lives would be taken by Moscow or they would be enslaved again. This feeling is based on post 2014 developments in Russian occupied Crimea and the Donbas. Also they were happy enough to leave the de facto 2015 border but when Putin invaded in 2022 the Ukrainians realised that he is a bandit who will come over and over again, grabbing salami slices of their land, killing them slowly.
Would you have advised France in 1940 to “just surrender already”?
