It's sad but sometimes an amputation is needed to preserve the rest of Europe from the horror of Putin. Resources spent in Ukraine can be better used ensuring Putin doesn't gain an inch of soil anywhere else. Obama and Biden failed to prevent Russia from taking over Ukraine but we can make sure this doesn't happen ever again from a fresh start.
You have no idea about the real situation in Ukraine. A friend of mine has just come back from a visit to Ukraine. It is a thoroughly militarized society now and there are only about 20 million of Ukrainians left in the country out of some 42 million before the war.
