That's the point, for the invader the endgame is quite clear : occupy the country, force a new puppet government, declare mission accomplished. For all the brutality and illegality of Putin's approach, its exit strategy is quite straightforward. The same thing can't be said for the invaded country, even if Ukraine manages to push back Russian army to its borders, it won't automatically stop the war.
That's why I was saying more weapons won't end the war, at least not for the defendant. They will help Ukraine not lose it, but that's only one part of the problem (the more urgent one, obviously) and leaders need to think of the way to end it.
It didn't because Ukraine isn't part of NATO. The war is currently asymmetrical, with a nuclear army facing a non-nuclear one. And it's quite clear (even explicitly stated) that most countries in NATO don't want to escalate it to world war, so attacking Russia isn't an option for them.
Well other countries definitely don't want the war to last 100 years, because that would destroy the whole of Europe as surely as a nuclear war would. And even if officially western countries aren't part of that conflict, the fact is that technically they totally are, and all the military support, and economical sanctions come at a price (not even mentioning refugee hosting, food availability issues etc).
War is never meant to last forever, you're not fighting for the sake of fighting but you're aiming at a goal, whichever side you are. You can hide behind the excuse "it's not for me to have a plan, let others decide for me", but in that case don't blame world leaders who are thinking ahead and realize there's more to it than killing more people with more weapons. Macron isn't even saying it with an intention to force a decision on Ukraine or Russia, as an external actor he's only thinking of having the right conditions so that Ukraine and Russia can agree to end the war (and like it or not, you'll need both to do it).
OK so you're a troll, that's fine, I can ignore you after this.
You said it wasn't Russias plan to occupy the capital, even though it obviously was, now you're saying the invader should occupy the country and install its own government to force there version of a win, thats russais exit strategy. Stick to a story
I'm not hiding behind anything, I've said clearly, and I'll say it again: I (me, you, macron, Donald duck or thanos) have no say in how this war finishes. I have hopes and wishes. But the only person who can stop this war today is Putin.
And he's been given that chance. 100+ times. Infact Russia has been given chances since the end of WW2 to be involved with the rest of the world. They've decided not to bother. The only thing world leaders have done is pandered to Russia and sucked up to them. Like macron is doing right now. It hasn't worked. Know how I can tell it hasn't worked??
Ukraine is burning.
Its populace starving, displaced or dead in the streets, hospitals and churces bombarded, children stolen and raped
This is the Russia you and macron want to deal with? Good luck. You'll be remembered for it, in your cheaply heated and lit houses
Macron should grow a fucking spine and just say he wants access to cheap Russian oil and gas. That's all he has to do. He will be demonised for it, but do not use being a peace broker between the head of a raping, pillaging, genocidal army and a country defending itself against it, as an excuse to cuddle upto little daddy putin. There's one side to come down on. Macron is on the wrong side.
No one wants a 100 year war, correct!!(although it's happened before and didn't destroy europe). But thats for Ukraine and Russia to decide! IF Ukraine decide to fight until the last fucking man or woman, then God damn, I'll support that and wish them luck
If Ukraine want macrons help negotiating with the fuckstick putin they'll ask for it. Until then, he should shut the fuck up and study French history and how much they've been humilated previously
or COD scripted events with endless enemies
