  3. Western leaders need to get rid of the idea that they should pressure Ukraine to agree to a bad deal just to save themselves money helping Ukraine. Because getting a peace treaty (especially a bad peace deal) won't save western countries money. If Ukraine gets a bad peace deal and Russia gets to continue to occupy a lot of captured Ukrainian territory then almost certainly Russia will start rebuilding its armed forces and preparing for its next attack against Ukraine in a few years. That means that even if there is a peace treaty western nations' expenses helping Ukraine won't end because they will still need to send weapons and other support to Ukraine so that it is prepared to fight off the next Russian invasion and/or they will need to send their own troops to Ukraine to be prepared to fight off a Russian invasion. Western governments may complain about needing to spend money indefinitely to help defend Ukraine from Russian attack but imperialist Russia poses a threat to Europe indefinitely and Ukraine is the wall that protects Europe from imperialist Russia. Western countries have no choice but to keep spending money maintaining that Ukrainian wall to protect Europe as long as imperialist Russia continues to be imperialist and threaten Ukraine and Europe. There really is no other choice unless Europe wants to submit to Russian imperialism and given the impoverished and backward and devoid of freedom nature of Russia it would be insane for Europe to submit to Russian imperialism. Even Ukraine, which is not a rich country economically, clearly does not want to submit to Russian imperialism so why would wealthy Europe want to do so? As long as Russia remains an aggressive, warlike, imperialist country western countries have no choice but to continue to spend money maintaining and building up the Ukrainian wall that protects Europe from imperialist Russia.
