The Dissident reports various US MSM calling for the war to continue and lambasting Trump for trying to bring about peace.

But it also quotes a sane voice, who happens to be Ukrainian:

Former Zelenskyy Press Secretary Calls For An End To The Ukraine Proxy War.

Iuliia Mendel, Former Spokeswoman For Zelensky Calls For Peace In Ukraine.

As she said in her X Tweet:

Every subsequent deal for Ukraine will only be worse — because we are losing. We are losing people, territory, and the economy.

My country is bleeding out. Many who reflexively oppose every peace proposal believe they are defending Ukraine. With all respect, that is the clearest proof they have no idea what is actually happening on the front lines and inside the country right now.

When asked, “Do you think a majority of Ukrainians agree?”, Mendel said, “I would not write this if I were not sure that really a lot of Ukrainians share this. A lot of people wrote me ‘thank you’ and not to back away.”

But there are still plenty of people who think that they will succeed in crushing Russia if only Ukraine is supported with more money and weapons and the war continues for another year or two.

That's what they thought in 2022 - a few hundred thousand lives ago.

But it's simply delusional to use one of John Mearsheimer's favorite words.

The reality is that soon there will be nothing left of Ukraine to care about - it will be bled out - but that doesn't seem to matter to those who wish to continue the war and the killing.

And according to Mark Galeotti in The Spectator: Russia is willing to keep on fighting in Ukraine

Unfortunately the truth is that the endgame now is not about saving lives but making sure that Putin loses otherwise all these MSM narratives over the last few years are going to look like what they are - fake news.
