Interestingly fresh perspective, given that we are consistently told the Ukrainians are ok about being thrown into an unwinnable meat-grinder of a war over some bits of land (cue howls of outraged Hitler-appeasement comparisons). Military experts have estimated Ukrainian casualties at 1K per month. That is a heavy price to pay.
