I’m biased in that I’m a communist, sure, but my methods of analysis focus on material reality, not marvel-esque ideas of Russia just turning around and walking away right as it’s clear they are winning.
They are steadily gaining ground, and Ukraine can’t stop Russia. Russia can go as slowly as they like to prevent casualties, they aren’t doing a suicidal blitzkreig.
Ukraine can stop Russia. By continuing to stop them. One nation against the “mightiest” and largest nation on earth and in doing so proving that they (Russia) are in fact a paper dragon resting on their laurels and former glory.
Ukraine is losing, they aren’t stopping Russia. Right now, Pokrovsk is encircled and about to fall to Russia. It is in Ukraine’s best interests to concede and stop the bloodshed.
If Ukraine concedes, why would Russia continue? Why do you compare them with a genocidal settler-colony that needs to expand to continue their settler-colonial project?
Hmm why would Russia continue. Oof you got me there. I have no idea. Why would they continue?
I mean given their peaceful history for the last 20 years of not attacking and expanding their borders, I can totally see why you’d think they would stop completely on the imaginary line.
I mean they totally stopped after Moldova, Georgia and Crimea.
This isn’t a marvel-esque situation where an invading force has spent 4 years gaining ground and checks notes suddenly stops.

Not really winning as I’ve mentioned before. They’ve barely gained any ground this year.

Ok so if they concede and then Russia continues…what then. Will you change your tune? Or just continue to parrot the propaganda?
Russia is as interested in stopping at your imaginary line as Israel is.

So you don’t actually have a reason, just that they’re Russian?
