At this point, yeah, they probably should. The counteroffensive is failing.

I won’t pretend to speak for the rest of hexbear, but I don’t see a positive future for Ukraine no matter what happens next. Blame Russia, blame NATO, it doesn’t matter - we are where we are. But realistically, what do you think is going to happen to those Russian-speaking Ukrainians if Ukraine doesn’t cede the Russian-speaking territory?
