Il Presidente: senza una posizione chiara da parte dei principali paesi, gli accordi con Putin equivarranno a semplici tattiche di stallo — Sito ufficiale del Presidente dell’Ucraina

Stalling is Putin’s only effective strategy, he believes if the war drags on long enough, the world will no longer care enough to do much about it.

and he is right. A long war with reduced aid will ruin UKR.

UKR may have no choice but to bait RuZ into doing something absolutely horrible and the West will have no choice but to join the fight.

and we cannot blame UKR for baiting them, because only a psycho mass murderer would take such a bait.

I feel like this is inevitable and we are just watching it play out. Civilian collateral will be unavoidable, we can only hope that it’s smaller than the worst case scenario.
