Having a war loving, despot dictator lording over you has to be miserable. One can only hope they can somehow figure out a way to resolve this soon. Hope yes but sadly I think its doubtful. On the one hand Ukraine doesn't want to lose a single sq m of land - and why should they? On the other hand, if Putin ends the war without any gains after thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of young Russian men have lost their lives, he's almost certainly finished. I have no doubt that some Western countries will put pressure on Ukraine to give up some land as the cost of supporting them rises. However, the death of each and every Ukrainian soldier in defending their country from this unprovoked attack can only strengthen their resolve to give up nothing.
