[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the end result of all of this is a divided Ukraine -- with Russia holding the eastern areas -- then was there any purpose to the war, even if Ukraine ends up "winning"?

Would Ukraine have been better off side-stepping the conflict by agreeing, months ago, to long-term neutrality with NATO membership permanently off the table?

Or would Putin have eventually launched an invasion even if Ukraine had signed a neutrality agreement?

Huh?  Ukraine was neutral.

Putin tried to take Kyiv.  You're blaming Ukraine for ... not giving Putin Kyiv?  That doesn't seem like it would have been good for Ukraine.  [/quote]

Ukraine was not neutral. Ukraine was trending strongly towards the West.

On Nov 10, 2021, Ukraine signed a strategic partnership with the USA to strengthen the military and economic partnership of the two countries. The agreement specifically mentions Ukraine's aspirations to join NATO.

"Neutrality" means, in Putin's view, that Ukraine must promise to never join NATO.
