Why would Russia stop if they are on track to win anyways? Genuinely. Do you think Ukraine has a chance to win somehow, or do you think sacrificing Ukrainians to make the war a more costly victory for Russia is beneficial to anyone except western imperialists? Which is it?
Could Russia win? Surely. But at what cost? Russia is burning through record amounts of men, the average lifespan of a Russian infantryman once deployed is 36 minutes. This is the same as saying “Why should Iran continue to fight, the US is way more powerful.” Yes, but Trump doesn’t have the backing to start an all-out war against Iran and similarly, Putin is avoiding a general mobilization, as he’s dependent on the average Russian staying apathetic.
And the Ukrainians have ample reason to resist Russian occupation all by themselves. The killings and disappearances following Russian occupation are a testament to that. Also, the amount of civilian targets hit by Russian drones makes it very clear how highly Putin regards the life of civilians.
It’s clear that you have an overwhelmingly one-sided view of the situation, so I’ll ask you very clearly once again:
Do you think Ukraine has a chance to win somehow?
Do you think sacrificing Ukrainians to make the war a more costly victory for Russia is beneficial to anyone except western imperialists?
Moreover, the people of Donetsk and Luhansk already want to be a part of Russia, which is why the Ukrainian Civil War started in 2014. Do they not get the right to self a determination from Kiev’s war crimes and ethnic repressions?
Ukraine has no chance to “not let Russia win.” Support is plummeting in Ukraine thanks to continuous government scandals and the fact that people don’t want to die for western capitalists. Regarding Donetsk and Luhansk, again, the people there support Russia and want to be a part of it. Even in a fantasy world where Kiev wins against Russia, they still to back to the Ukrainian Civil War against Donetsk and Luhansk.

Ukraine has a chance to not let Russia win. The war in Donetsk and Luhansk was started by Igor Girkin and his ilk, he himself admitted as much.
