I don't think Ukraine alone can beat Russia back either but I also don't think they should negotiate. Negotiation would only be a huge win for Russia. If they gain any ground they'll see it simply as the price of the land and invade again once they saved enough to pay again.

Honestly, the best bet would be for Ukraine to gain an active ally. Someone who can put boots on the ground and push Russia back. The US could obviously steam roll Russia back but if that happened it'd be likely Russia would trigger a larger war.

You want to send even more conscripts into these defense lines while risking some other country getting bombed? You do realize that this will not magically fix the artillery and ammo shortage, and that Russia can mobilize even more troops as well?

So what, you are in favor of Ukraine just surrendering?
