Where Have All the Flowers Gone
* Ukrainian soldiers must go on the offensive soon, and they must win, otherwise too many politicians will lose face.
Moreover, in the event of a Russian victory, all the billions of dollars invested in Ukraine would have been for nothing, because according to historical tradition, the loser of the war has to pay the bill.
Additionally, the aid demanded by the Ukrainian leadership will not continue to flow until the Ukrainian army is successful.
For these reasons, the Ukrainian offensive, even if doomed to failure, must go ahead. More soldiers must be replaced on the front lines!
Negotiations are not desirable, otherwise Ukraine will become another Belarus.
The more weapons are brought into Ukraine to defeat the Russians, the harder Russia will act. The conflict has to be won before too late.
What happened?
There was a chance to negotiate peace about 10 years ago, but the plan was to subdue the separatists and bring the regions back under control. The Kiev army fought hard and killed many of them. But the separatists resisted resolutely and did not want to come under Kiev's control. As far as I read, they even asked Russia for help.
The Ukrainian government and the countries supporting it increased and built up the Ukrainian army to enable them to destroy the enemy. When they were finally strong enough, they threatened to deal the final blow to the separatists.
We know what happened next! The separatists turned to Russia. The separatist regions joined Russia. Ukraine and most Western countries did not recognize the annexation. Russia launched the special military operation. Russia tried to create something like a second Prague Spring. But Ukraine did not let itself be intimidated. Since then, both parties have been trying to defeat the enemy. Intermediate negotiations failed and are meanwhile hardly possible. Ukraine received more and more funds and weapons to defeat Russia. Countless people died because of the military conflicts.
The delusion of bringing Russia to its knees by force of arms will probably not work. Russia's arsenal of weapons continues to grow beyond that of the Allies. And among the Allies, there are more and more voices dare to say that their arsenal is running out.
And then? What next?
...
When will they ever learn?
