The same could be said of Western support for Ukraine, such to the extent even the most vociferous proponents of “til the last Ukranian” cannot actually define a realistic Ukrainian victory. The logic is continue expending under-resourced Ukrainian conscripts to Russia from the NATO border because war is inevitable so they might as well fight it now.

Separately, there was an interesting piece about intimidation of journalists under the Zelensky regime in the Guardian today. Including the serving of conscription papers being issued to journalists investigating corruption and critical of how the war is going.
