    Yeah it’s tough to find a compromise when Russia seems to go for the total victory or at least a settlement of gains and Ukraine hopes for a stalemate without border changes.

      Ukraine hopes for total retreat from all claimed Ukrainian territory, not a mere stalemate. That’s hardly compromise.

        That’s right and as long as US and western allies keep up with deliveries there is a chance for Ukraine to achieve its objectives.

        Ideally leading to Russian collapse.

        Before you get bent out of shape about it is in possible…

        Recent history does demonstrate that invading country that faces a determined opposition will generally have to go home with their dicks tucked.

        How long can Russia spin this shot at home esp as Ukraine is striking critical assets deep within Russia.

        And the west hasn’t even given Ukraine the best shit and permission to use it as needed.
