Ukraine the state is caught in a difficult place. The government is led by Nazi Nationalists, Banderites, that have been propped up and funded by NATO as part of their efforts to destabilize Russia. In return for all of the weapons (which will put Ukraine in incredible debt to NATO for generations), and the coup, the Banderite government agreed to privatize Ukrainian industry which means the wealth generating capability of the Ukrainian people is being transferred to Western Finance Capitalists. Nobody voted for that. In fact, nobody voted for the war. Zelensky was elected to bring peace with Russia, something NATO and the Banderites would not allow him to make happen, and once that was made clear to him he has had no choice but to comply with the events that had been set in motion. So, the State of Ukraine is stuck in a war that its people overwhelmingly do not want, that it very obviously is losing, and that it is not being allowed to back out of, all the while being looted by Capitalist Ghouls. They can only limp along throwing involuntary (Russian) conscripts into Russian mine fields for so long, and they can only become more Fascist while attempting to prolong it.
As always, the real victims in all of this are the people of Ukraine and Russia who despite voting for no conflict, have been thrust into conflict and made to take the brunt of the consequences due to geopolitical concerns that never bother to concern them. Any solution would involve an immediate ceasefire which I'm positive Russia would agree too, and which I'm equally positive NATO and the Banderites would not, without major concessions that Russia can not (geopolitically) agree to.
