People’s material conditions and also not being dead matter more than imaginary lines on a map.
This is unbelievably dishonest. You think the only material change is a redrawing of borders? C’mon now.
Fighting to the last Ukrainian kills more Ukrainians than allowing their government to sign a peace deal, or at least allowing their government to lose more quickly.
Not your choice to make. If they want to defend their land against unwarranted invasion, that’s their choice. You don’t get to decide what somebody else’s life is worth.
What do you mean by ukraine? Do you mean the government? The ukrainian population? Part of the ukrainian population?
Available information indicates a strong support of the defense effort among the Ukrainian populace.

Theyre both right wing states.

Conscription, + I’m not saying they can’t, Im just saying it is going to get more people killed to further supply them.

Okay, but that can’t be taken in ethnically russian areas and doesn’t answer the question.
… Yeah? And? One is still worse than the other. For example, one of them repeatedly invades its neighbor. And it’s still bad when one nation invades another as part of a land grab.

Actually, what gets people killed is invading other nations. The fact that you have accepted that as a foregone conclusion, and therefore saving lives requires the invaded people not fighting back, speaks volumes to your perspective. I don’t accept this as a foregone conclusion. Russia should simply leave, and then people will stop dying.

I’m not sure what you mean by this.
and doesn’t answer the question.
It did answer the question. I said Ukraine wants to defend itself; you asked what I meant by that, and I said the Ukrainian population overwhelmingly supports the defense efforts. Hence that is what I mean when I say “Ukraine wants to defend itself”.
If you’re not sure what “they can’t survey the ethnically russian areas right now” means then you do not have the base of knowledge to have an informed opinion on the war. Don’t mean to be a dick, but come on, this is literally basic stuff that colors the conflict.
