Asking for diplomatic solution now is ridiculous because it's obvious to anybody in the region that Russia wins long-term if we let them attack, negotiate parts

Asking for diplomatic solution now is ridiculous because it's obvious to anybody in the region that Russia wins long-term if we let them attack, negotiate parts of Ukraine, rebuild, attack, negotiate parts of Ukraine, regroup, etc. And Russia winning means thousands of people tortured and murdered. And then we get the war again anyway.
The only way Ukraine wins (and our region can be safe long-term) is if we punish Russia the one time they tried to bite off more than they were able to swallow.
Ask Russian opposition. Ask Ukrainians, Poles, Lithuanians, Balts, Czechs, Romanians, Georgians, etc.
Also it's not left vs right issue. It's (prorussian alt-right + alt-left) vs (pro-Ukrainian mainstream).
