    As much as I want Ukraine to retain and regain all of their lawful land, it’s more realistic if Ukraine loses some of their land and maintains full sovereignty. Maybe that’s as much as we can hope for.

      Unfortunately, this is true.

      Unless Ukraine has the means to repel Russia themselves, losing territory to a stronger opponent while lacking diplomatic relations to back you up is just part of how the world works.

      If Ukraine really wants someone to blame, they can blame whoever kept them from joining NATO sooner.
