If Ukraine is not victorious over Russian invasion, then we [NATO and USA] are not doing enough! It seems to me that with the weapons and military knowledge that Europe and the USA have that they would be able to figure out a method of regaining much of Ukraine territory. There are 4 branches of USA military with lots of experienced staff/soldiers and it seems to me that along with governmental agencies, that the Ukraine could be supported in a much more effective and timely manner.
If the Ukraine needs more or better weapons, they should have received such ALREADY and be equipped to use them in an adequate manner.
I can understand the possible need to relinquish some territorial areas to save Russian “face”, even though it should not actually happen as they are the ones in the wrong in Ukraine. However, Russia seems to want much more territory and I don’t think they will stop at the Eastern locations and they are now in the Southern locations too. Ukraine should be helped [at whatever cost] to retake the Southern locations and at least keep Russia at the limited Eastern locations. However, if Russia keeps any Ukraine territory, they will restart a war at some future time and take more and more Ukraine territory. Also, it will not stop there. They are threatening Poland and Finland already and NATO in general.
NATO and the USA should stop being so weak and untimely in response to the needs of the Ukraine. It seems that the time lapse between promise and delivery is too long and cumbersome.
Also, if the Ukraine needs more boots on the ground, a way should be found to do so. Russia cannot be allowed to win this “invasion”.
