Telling the Ukrainans to compromise will never work. The russians will continue to kidnap their children and push Ukrainans into the sea unless they secure all of their land. And even then, they'll be forced into an Israel-like state of constant bombardment from their neighbors.

It's a shitty fucking deal. But the russian army and government are monsters. And the peace protestors that MTG cheers on aren't on the side of the Ukrainians. Surrendering is not peace to the Russians. It's capitulation.
