They need lots more of our taxpayer money đź’°. I can another few thousand dollars. No problem.
Continuing to fight will only result in Ukraine shrinking further and thousands more dead Ukrainians.
Our buffoon of a Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin already admitted the goal of continuing to fight is to hurt Russia not Ukraine winning. But, Russia is getting stronger while Ukrainians continue to suffer.
Yes, it is time to do what President Trump said to do a few weeks ago -- negotiate an end to the war. Anyone not agreeing, should become a Democrat.
Why not just wish for unicorns?
“What follows is the first part of a recommendation for a three-part plan. Ukraine could first blunt Russia’s advance into the Donbas. Then, Kyiv could create additional defensive lines to ensure Russia cannot break through the Donbas and put Kyiv at risk again. Finally, the Ukrainians could create a new national offensive strike force of 100,000 troops. This force could eventually launch a counteroffensive to drive Russia from Ukrainian soil.”
You are correct. Anyone who can read a battle map can see it.
Ukrainians want to fight, believe they can win, and with western weapons...

With the elimination of all political opposition and the total control of the info sources by Zelenskyy it wouldn’t be surprising if the Ukrainians thought that the Azov Battalion was on the outskirts of Moscow and shelling the Kremlin.
Do you think the Russian Speaking Separatist Republics of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea want to go back to Ukraine? If so, why have they been fighting for 8 years to gain their freedom?
>Continuing to fight will only result in Ukraine shrinking further and thousands more dead Ukrainians.
This is what needs to be said over and over. Russia got their AZOV brigade. Just sign a treaty and send Zelensky back on dancing with the stars.
I agree with you on the later, and POTUS Trump, but there is one thing.
The radical groups within the Ukraine WILL NEVER, allow Zelensky to negotiate even a cease fire, say nothing about a peace agreement.
They’ll kill him at the drop of a hat.
Hell, they fought the Ukrainian regular army prior to this conflict in western Ukraine.
You're just making things up. Ukraine banned 11 pro-Russian parties. There are 300 official parties in Ukraine with many independent tv and radio stations, newspapers, etc. Ukraine is not Russia.
This analysis is more like the analysis of a chess match than real war. Virtually no mention of logistics which is the key factor in the eventual outcome. The Russian politicians and high command probably believed that this war would be over in a week. The Achilles heel of the Russian army has always been logistics. Once the Ukrainians managed to significantly harass Russian naval operations in southeastern Ukraine, resupply problems which were bad became much worse. An army without food, fuel and ammunition is not much of an offensive threat and morale collapses quickly. The Ukrainians are using copious amounts of missiles and other ordnance. Unless constantly resupplied from the West, their operations will be limited.
What freedom? Crimea was semi-autonomous within Ukraine, now it is a Russian police state.
And the ones that support Zelenskyy are the only one left.
No, Ukrainians who barely supported Zelensky at 31% before the war, have united in anger and opposition to the Russian invasion. Nothing unites a country more than an external enemy, that has invaded, bringing death and destruction.
Russia would do better if you were fighting for them. You really should go and help your favorite dictator murder people.
Go fight for Russia since you like them so much. Go. Begone.
