Of course it would but with less favourable terms to Ukraine. Again, you want to deprive them the money need to defend themselves.




You're ignoring what Ukraine wants. They want to keep fighting. They don't want to surrender their people and land to the Russians. If they want to come to terms then that's their right and if they want to keep fighting that's their right as well.

If someone invaded the UK would you want to concede parts of it so avoid deaths? It's pacifist nonsense.

If only that emotive question could find a simple answer.

From the armchair, “we would fight them in the beaches, etc”. If you were the one being sent to the front line, leaving behind your dependent family, what would you choose to do? Preservation of life has more than one facet.

On balance, I think the UK people would elect on a majority basis to resist invasion - but unlike Ukraine, the feared event is a very long way from likely.
