> post-war elections in a democratic ukraine will spark a political crisis if zelensky is forced into a bad peace deal everyone knew this was the outcome when the 2022 negotiations fell through, the cost in manpower and resources dictate no other outcome. the one and only chance ukraine had was to break the russian public support of the war, but even with all the support of the west it was just not possible to mobilize enough soldiers to take advantage of the russian withdrawal and reorganization. nato was never going to fight the russians directly and any plans based on that notion is just wishful thinking, no sane person is going to risk atomic escalation over a non member, that's radical rhetoric of redditors and the like who couldn't give a shit about nato soldiers dying for their karma points.
