The end of the war on Russia's terms is not positive for any European.

It will be positive for the thousands of Ukrainian men that get drafted and sent to die.
OK, so we fight until there's nobody left alive for what exactly?

Most of the Russian proposed peace plans are basically. "Leave it alone and stop fighting".

Hardly the demand of Kiev on a silver platter and would save a lot of resoruces/lives.

Is Ukranian pride worth it's economic destruction, worth lining the pockets of the war merchants or worth the continued spiraling death toll?

It's a little less David vs Goliath and more aknin to Davids little cousin tommy with a waterpistol vs a flame thrower...

You do realize that Russia's imperial ambitious won't just suddenly vanish away after the war in Ukraine? Russia will keep being Russia if we meet their terms.
There is a thing called history. Without context all aggression is blind. Please go away and read up. This is not a new blitzkreig despite how many like warm IQs day it is. If it was Kiev would be a parking lot and Germany would be negotiating Poland future already
