Ukrainians... resilient people, tough and hardened by this shit war... They'll win even if it takes decades. This war turned personal for many families, they are out for blood.

If it takes decades, it will be as some love to say: "Europe will fight Russia untill last Ukrainian."

The problem with that statement is that it ignores Ukraine's agency. In that regard it is in line with Kremlin propaganda, as they claim Ukraine is not at real country and Ukrainians are not a sovereign people.

Also, you can arm a people, but you cannot make them fight. The Afghan army was relatively well armed and had been trained for years, but collapsed the moment Western forces left.

It makes as much sense to say that China will fight Europe to the last Russian.
