The Ukraine (or, I should say, the Kiev regime) is merely emulating its sugar daddy, the United States of America. "I learned it from you, Dad." U Rich? Then no problems. Money talks loudest, regardless of how it's gotten.
At some point Ukraine will have to trade some of its land for peace. They simply can't afford to lose an entire generation to hold on to Russian speaking territory. The US and Europe are unlikely to maintain their current level of assistance indefinitely which will force the issue.
What percentage of the population of Ukraine must be sacrificed to prevent giving up a certain percentage of territory? Perhaps allowing the people of that territory the option to stay or leave could be part of the negotiated settlement. Many of the Russian speaking population might wish to stay. In any case it's no one's decision to make except for the people of Ukraine.

Once again we end up supporting the second worst alternative against the worst.
