Read it. It doesn’t make any sense from a Ukrainian standpoint because surrendering means giving up it’s own land to Russian invaders and giving up on their own people, but importantly it also gives Russia an opportunity to regroup and then attack again. It’s an absolute win for a Russian perspective which is why surrendering just for “peace” is basically a pro-Russian propaganda talking point. It would just be a cycle of Ukraine surrenders, Russia attacks and gains more land and kills more civilians in targeted attacks, Ukraine surrenders because apparently defending itself is evil, rinse and repeat until Ukraine is no more.
Ukraine and the west don’t want this war. Everyone wants peace. But it cannot come at the expense of Ukraine being absorbed into Russia and the complete genocide of the Ukrainian people. That’s what appeasement means, that’s why people can’t advocate for countries to stop sending weapons to Ukraine so it can defend itself. Anyone advocating for their countries to stop sending military aid is directly supporting Russia in order to ease it’s resistance in taking over the country.
Which is why people keep saying that Russia should leave. That’s the best option. Russia can focus on actually spending its tax income on helping its citizens rather than sending them into a meat grinder. It’s not realistic though, unfortunately, and the only way for Russia to leave is to fight them and push them out.
Let me just summarise: advocating for appeasement isn’t advocating for peace; it’s advocating for Russia to wipe out Ukraine.
Read this to know why this is not a realistic line of argument.
