Ukraine could collapse. What will that look like?

In March 1939, convinced that the war was lost and that prolonging it was causing a needless, useless loss of life, Spanish Republican officer Segismundo Casado deposed the pro-war government of Juan Negrín, leading to a collapse of the Republic and to the complete, unconditional victory of General Franco. Right now, true friends of Ukraine would tell it the truth: that even a withdrawal from the areas still controlled by the Ukrainian armed forces in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, and Donetsk oblasts, together with geopolitical neutrality, limits on its military, and sizeable political and cultural concessions to Moscow—namely regarding the status of the Russian language and of the Moscow-aligned Ukrainian Orthodox Church—is still preferable to any likely alternative, and that to refuse this reality is to potentially compromise Ukrainian statehood itself. This is from the Brussels Signal, a new publication which serves as Orban-friendly MCC’s mouthpiece, if people haven’t heard of it before : Following last year’s launch of a Brussels satellite of the Budapest think tank MCC, Orbán’s allies now have separate news organizations scrutinizing and skewering the institutions: The European Conservative and the Brussels Signal.
