The protraction of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is detrimental to Ukraine, but also harmful to Russia! The European and American countries continue to provide aid to Ukraine. Ukraine must firmly hold on to Russia, not engage in a short-term contest for one city or one region, and it seems like a war of attrition! Russia currently has enemies everywhere, and prolonged warfare will inevitably lead to changes. Over the past three years, Russia has lost all its external influence, and its current influence is much less than before, which is a clear proof. If Ukraine continues to hold on to Russia for another two or three years, Russia's losses will be extremely huge!
Currently, Russia is very similar to the former Soviet Union that was trapped in the Afghan War. After fighting for more than three years, it had already accepted dozens of rounds of sanctions, and its friends were gradually decreasing. If it fought for another three years, the situation would be extremely dangerous, and it is hard to predict. If it lasted for ten years like the Afghan War, Russia might really disintegrate, because the internal damage would be too severe.
The Russia-Ukraine War is being fought within Ukraine's territory, where the most deaths are Ukrainians, and the most severe destruction is to Ukrainian buildings and military facilities. The first to be unable to withstand it may not necessarily be Ukraine. Afghanistan is an exception; it has experienced invasions by both the Soviet Union and the United States, but ultimately, Afghanistan remained Afghanistan. The Soviet Union disappeared, and the United States declined.
No matter how many people support it, wars throughout history and across the world have been no different. China-Russia trade continues to grow. In this world, only three countries - China, the US, and Russia - can sit at the table, while others are just sitting around the table or next to it. When Russia faces a downfall, the US will create trouble for Russia. Great powers only focus on making money, and other matters are irrelevant to the great powers.
If the war continues, the land of Ukraine will be won by the EU if they win, and belong to Russia if they lose. In any case, Ukraine will lose its people and its land. This way, we will all be dragged down, and the longer the war lasts, the more suffering the Chinese and Russian people will endure. For the privileges of these people, the common people bear the suffering. We should learn from Israel, letting those who start the war go first. This way, the war will end immediately.
The longer the war between Ukraine and Russia continues, the more blood will be shed, the deeper the wounds, and the longer it will take to recover. The US's long-standing plot to counter the major power in the Asia-Pacific has failed for various reasons, but it has been realized in the Russia-Ukraine War. The longer the Russia-Ukraine War drags on, the more advantageous it is for us. In fact, all warring parties have already become exhausted.
