The way Europe is talking about sending in an armed ‘peacekeeping’ force into Western Ukraine, it does look like they’ve about written off Donbass, but are trying to keep as much of Ukraine as they can, so as to be able to continue to threaten Russia.
Of course Russia isn’t too hot on the idea, so the Europeans may have to buckle up for a lot of body bags coming back, since they’ll be treated as enemy combatants (as already stated by Russia).

When we run out of Ukrainian soldiers we will fight till the last Pole. Let’s see if the Poles are as stupid as the Ukrainians.
My prediction is that Ukraine is admitted to NATO in the next few years. But first it will be reduced to the size of Switzerland, with large pieces of it ceded not only to Russia and Belarus but also to NATO neighbors like Poland and Romania.
