full text available here anon:    > what does victory for ukraine look like? > most of the aid is designed to help repair ukraines energy grid, provide food, shelter and medicine and for de-mining. thats a very far cry from the two whopping $60 billion packages of mostly military aid authorised by the us in 2022 and early this year. and its a very far cry indeed from the decisive infusion of main battle tanks, f-16 jets, missile defences and cruise missiles that zelensky says he needs. > polls reveal a growing disenchantment among ukrainians with the conflict, with 70 per cent believing that the government is exploiting it for personal gain. more than 57 per cent now support negotiations to end the war  up from 43 per cent a year ago. > is zelensky simply being naive in continuing to insist that ukraine can actually return to its pre-war borders  or is he, as some of his domestic opponents are suggesting, in fact creating a stab-in-the-back narrative of western betrayal that will allow him to enter talks with russia without losing face? > justice  in the form of returning territory, penalising russian war criminals or extracting reparations  is not achievable. but with western help, security for ukraine is achievable  as is prosperity, and freedom. ukraine has proved that its people have the grit, spirit and imagination to achieve great things. perhaps building a new democratic future, rather than fighting an endless rearguard action against putins death cult, is now the real glory of ukraine? a very good read for zradamaxxing
