Rather than risk a protracted war with the added danger of waning Western support, Ukraine needs to lock in what it has already achieved. It has exposed the limits of Russian military power. It has established credible claims to EU and North Atlantic Treaty Organization membership. It has transformed its international image from a den of corruption to a land of heroes.
If “exposing the limits of Russian military power” is one of their achievements, then I agree they’d better move to lock it in pretty fucking fast because “exposing the limits of NATO military power” is going to become an increasingly dominant theme the longer this drags on.
Man, what a reach. Imagine hanging your hat on that as a justification for so many deaths.
