It absolutely is applicable to places like Ukraine, and hopefully will be applied there when the time comes. In Ukraine it is not yet obvious who will win - not only each side thinks they have the advantage, but pretty much most outside observers agree that it's still undecided. Think about other similar large wars: France surrendered in ww2. Later Germany did as well. Each of those failed to turn into a decade long blood bath. Then Vietnam - US left, the south lost, and Americans are now moving there for retirement.
