Ukraine's choice is simple: fight or die. And they don't want their children doing the same job 10-20 years from now. That's why opinion polls in Ukraine, irrespective of region, show 88-94% in favor of fighting until total victory, defined as ejecting Russia from all Ukrainian territory. No more Sebastopol naval base, no more Russian control of the Kerch Strait that can close Ukrainian ports, annexations reversed. Zelenskiy said it in two words: "without you":

"In a Telegram post addressed to Russia, Zelensky asked: “Do you still think that we are ‘one nation?’ Do you still think that you can scare us, break us, make us make concessions?”

“You really did not understand anything? Don’t understand who we are? What are we for? What are we talking about?,” said the post, which published Sunday.

“Read my lips: Without gas or without you? Without you. Without light or without you? Without you. Without water or without you? Without you. Without food or without you? Without you,” Zelensky wrote.

“Cold, hunger, darkness and thirst are not as scary and deadly for us as your ‘friendship and brotherhood,’” he added. “But history will put everything in its place. And we will be with gas, light, water and food … and WITHOUT you!”

The same useful idiots advocating Ukraine negotiate its existence with Russia tell Israel to negotiate its existence as a Jewish state with the Islamist Nazis of Hamas. Russia is basically a nordic version of Hamas, as its tsunami of genocidal venom on justsecurity.org makes clear. But you choose not to see what is right in front of you in Russia's removal of monuments to the Holodomor. This movie is a rerun, but with a different ending this time: the genocidaires lose.
