And yet while criticising those you perceive as speaking for Ukraine, you have no hesitation in … speaking for Ukraine.
You’ll never understand what’s going on here as long as your perspective is limited to great powers thinking. It isn’t all about the perpetual manoeuvring between East and West. Ukraine is a sovereign nation whose citizens strongly support continuing the war until it regains control over all its internationally recognised territory. The Ukrainians are in no doubt about the risks of trying to appease the neighbour which has already wreaked so much death and destruction on it.
Your inability to see Ukraine’s agency has been fatally undermining your position in this thread right from page 1.
