Although I recognise this conversation is somewhat circuitous, I can’t really rationalise the 2022 borders plus Crimea ambition that others do in the absence of any political will to support it from their allies. The final months of the conflict are here one way or the other. A few decent graphics and blind hope won’t change that.
Is Ukraine fighting in order to align itself with Western objectives? Or is it fighting because a neighbouring state has invaded and ravaged its sovereign territory?

The question is rhetorical of course - I’m sure even you are well aware you’re putting the cart before the horse here.
