From the NYTimes:

KRAMATORSK, Ukraine — As Ukrainian troops tried to claw back territory and stave off a blistering Russian assault along the country’s embattled eastern front, the government on Saturday sought also to repel a demand earlier in the day by President Emmanuel Macron of France that Moscow not be humiliated to improve chances of reaching a diplomatic solution.

“We must not humiliate Russia so that the day when the fighting stops we can build an exit ramp through diplomatic means,” Mr. Macron, who has sought to position himself as the world’s chief negotiator with the Kremlin, said in an interview with French newspapers. “I am convinced that it is France’s role to be a mediating power.”

Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, responded with a scathing post on social media.

“Calls to avoid humiliation of Russia can only humiliate France and every other country that would call for it,” Mr. Kuleba wrote. Instead, he argued, peace and the saving of lives could best be achieved by Russia being “put in its place.”
OK, so the Russians destroy entire regions of the country. Major cities that look like Germany at the end of WWII. They commit atrocities such as rape, mass murder, forced deportations, separation of families. They create 7 million refugees, some of which are being cared for right now by my own relatives in Zakarpatiyya. They've destroyed the economy and it will likely take an entire generation to recover.

But for God's sake, let's not humiliate them, they might not want to sit down and negotiate a peace. They invade, cause all this devastation and we need to cater to their national ego?

Eff 'em.
