Or they can negotiate for peace. This is how most wars end. It is also how this war will end. If only the 2022 Istanbul negotiations were supported by the west instead of being undermined. If I were Ukrainian I would be furious with the western 'allies', essentially lying about unconditional support and promoting an impossible outcome for their own geopolitical interests. Utterly shameful.
The Ukraine you refer to was literally just a Western-backed coup in 2014, doesn't exactly inspire confident in any democratic process. NYTimes admitted this. Kind of a bold move if you ask me. I wonder if Russia installed their own envoy in Canada whether the Americans might make a move on their northern neighbours, as well? That's why we blame Ukraine.
This is not the case. A Russian puppet took over the Ukrainian government on promises of aligning Ukraine with Europe and was removed by the Ukrainian people when it was clear he had lied. He then fled to Russia, where he belongs. The legislature did the equivalent of impeachment+removal to remove him from office.
why are you blaming Ukraine
