From that Guardian article;

"Support for Ukraine among Europeans remains broad, but nearly two years after the full-scale invasion barely 10% now believe it can defeat Russia, according to an EU-wide survey – with some form of “compromise settlement” seen as the most likely end point."
Was pretty self-evident from a few months into Vlad`s "special military operation".
Sooner or later Zelensky will have to bin his "reclaim every inch of territory" aspirations and rhetoric - it ain`t gonna happen, matey... you ain`t got the comparative manpower.

Crimea is gone forever, you can forget that for a start.
Ukraine, with gritted teeth, will eventually have to cede Kherson and Zaporozhie (at least the bits East of the Dnieper?), and probably all of Luhansk and Donetsk.... If they`re lucky, noises coming from Rusland already about Kharkov region as well (!)... "historically a Russian area" etc.
And god help Ukraina if Rossia perseveres with that nutter Medvedev`s (and Co) pronouncements - "we might leave them the Lvov region enclave" etc.
Cultural and geographic genocide is effectively what is being advocated.... and that may very well happen, if this goes on for the medium term future.
