    I mean, if you were the leader of a country that was under active invasion by a enemy with numerical and firepower superiority, would you not do the same? Given the circumstances, he’d arguably be failing his people if he did not pursue whatever avenue to get more aid that he can

      Sure I’m not saying he’s doing something wrong. I’m just saying his words are worthless because of the reason you just spelled out.

      Given his circumstances, I’m surprised he hasn’t given up territory for the purpose of saving his people’s lives.

      They’re going to lose. Is it better for Ukraine to exist in a diminished capacity or not at all?

        I’m no strategist but what’s to stop Putin from agreeing, taking some time to regroup, and then just doing it again? Ukraine would be out whatever was agreed to but still in the same position.
