    This operation has the potential to better Ukraine’s strategic position greatly. Ukraine winning means the dying of civilians stops. Ukraine giving up would not have the same result.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Czechoslovakia? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Poland? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered the Netherlands? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Denmark? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered France? - No.

    Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Norway? - No.

    Ww2 ended, when Nazi Germany was defeated.

      would ukraine winning mean civilians stop dying in the eastern oblasts where the coup regime have been murdering civilians and bombing and shelling them since 2014?

      Ukraine winning, Ukraine giving up, Ukraine making a peace deal with Russia, Russia winning - all those options will mean the dying of civilians stops.
      The only option where people will continue to die is the option you (probably) support - continuing the war.

        That is not my perception.

        Russia winning means, the dying will continue in the suppression of their new subjects and in future invasions since this one would have been successful in the end.

          How many people have died from “supression” (whatever it means in this context) in the Crimea, that has been occupied for 10 years now?
          And the next question - how come this number (is it 0 or more?) is less then the number of civilians (some of whom be Ukrainians or ex-Ukrainians) that died from Ukrainian shelling of Crimea?
          Do you think people should have a choice of dying in this, very real, war, or in some hypothetical could-happen war in the future?

        You lie, moskals have been observed to continue stealing, raping, killing and ethnic cleansing long after any hostilities ceased in many armed conflicts before. Their behaviour in Bucha and elsewhere proves they haven’t changed one bit.
