I'm not a military strategist. I'm not gonna weigh in on that. But I'm not about to tell folks how to defend their homes in the face of an invader.
Russia has been abducting and reeducating Ukrainian children since they took Crimea in 2014. Also, Ukraine isn't the one invading anyone.
for his own political reasons
You mean the continuation of the Ukrainians as a people unto themselves with the right to self-determination?
It's literally not. That's one argument they make, but the article is about the West pressuring Ukraine to continue fighting. I'm fairly certain they'd continue fighting regardless.
