If you turn off your political biases and zeal, and read the article again, you will realise that the author is actually talking Realpolitik that is in the interest of the Ukraine. It's all good and well to shout out about right and wrong, good and evil in politics, but is it morally defensible asking the Ukranians to fight the "good fight" on your behalf, as long as you personally don't suffer the consequences for it?
Let us ignore superpower politics, and, for the sake of this argument, believe that the west is supporting Ukraine in good-faith. The west trained Ukrainian soldiers and armed them to resist the Russian invasion. That was a positive step. The Ukranians are fighting bravely. They had some initial success too. Great. That was 2+ years ago. What has happened since? Is Ukraine winning the war? The answer is no - one counter-offensive it launched has already failed. Till date, Ukraine has lost around 20% of its territory and more than 100,000+ soldiers. It is continuing to lose territory and soldiers. The simple fact is that Ukraine's military is losing because it is no match against Russia's larger military.
The military arithmetic is simple - what Ukraine needs today is not just more arms, but most importantly more soldiers. Is any western country willing to commit soldiers today, to fight alongside the Ukranians? The hard truth is no. And yet, the west (currently EU only) wants Ukraine to keep fighting. That's not some speculative opinion. This is what Germany's intelligent chief recently said: - Ukraine needs to fight the Russians till 2030 - https://nordot.app/1271064963068608531 !! Wow!
Please tell me - How much more territory should Ukraine lose, and how many more Ukranians need to die, till you accept the reality that Ukraine cannot win alone against Russia?
(The stark reality of the matter is that those of you asking Ukraine to fight Russia alone, to the last Ukranian, are nothing but cowards.)
