    “Borders must not be changed by force”.

    Uhhhhhh…correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that literally what EVERY war in history has been? The only thing different here is that the war isn’t actually over yet, and as far as I can tell, Ukraine is either winning, or at the very least keeping even with Russia. Now, you could absolutely make the statement that now isn’t the time for border changes. You need to wait until the war is actually over for that, and the loser to sue for peace. THEN the winner takes land. But Ukraine hasn’t sued for peace, and neither has Russia. So now is not the time for border changes. But I absolutely do think border changes will happen at the end, and you could absolutely say they happened by force.
