Just imagine for a second that your country is being invaded. Just imagine your friends and family are being killed by an invasion. That your whole culture is under threat. Just look at what Russia does with places they invaded and culturally assimilated. Everything you love might be gone if you capitulate. It’s not that Ukraine doesn’t want peace, but on fair terms, not by giving Russia everything they want. Not by ignoring the sacrifices. Please read up more on the history of the region and what led up to this war.

My country was invaded many times. We have lost some chunk of land which we can't get back unless there is all out war with countless life lost. We are third world country we don't have backing of US to continue a prolonged war.

  And the US thinks that’s ok. They want Ukraine to give up the territory Russia took by force. Everyone else wants Russia to respect the agreed upon borders.

    Russia is not going to give up that territory. Are europeans to go war with Russia. Unless that happens only ukraines would get slaughtered. While USA and European military industrial complex would profit.

      You are advocating for giving in to the bully in the hopes that they will stop bothering you. The reality is that the bully will never stop, Russia’s aim is total annexation of Ukraine. Making peace without proper guarantees would be to ensure more Ukrainian people will die in the future.

        For palestine israel is the bully. Are you advocating for continued terrorism in hopes to make israel bend the knee?

  I am sorry to hear that and I do feel that. Ukraine is special because it’s so close to Europe, and many countries on the border feel they could be next (the Baltics, Poland) The inequality in the world is staggering, and Trumps administration will only make it worse. We need people to come together and help eachother out, and the autocrats and warmongers make this very difficult.

    Sorry but europe would be the warmonger here. Trump surprisingly seems to want end war. If my country started a war with my neighbour, the Europeans, USA would have urged us to stop it and make a peace deal. Would blame us for starting a war on silly issues, our culture etc. The west should do the same make peace not war.

      That is what the rest of the west tried to do with Russia.
      - hyuh56 2y ago
        Then they should be happy with Trump who also seems to want to end the war. Considering US was always a war machine this change is surprising.

        That's exactly the opposite of what the West has been doing to Russia since at least 1993. The by far most egregious offense having been the utter disrespect shown to the CFE treaty. Also not a single leader on Ukraine's side (until Trump) but even tried negotiating with Putin beyond Zelensky's 10-point "peace plan". The only exception being Zelensky himself during the Istanbul negotiations. They asked Russia to retreat from Kyiv to "enable" those negotiations and after Russia did so, for yet unknown reason Ukraine withdrew and refused to engage in any further negotiations.
