    The people of Ukraine have told the world what their best interest is: removing Russian soldiers from their land, by force if necessary.

    The US is only interested in Ukraine when their goals align. Everyone knows this, including most Americans and most Ukrainians.

Meanwhile, opinion polls of Ukrainians consistently show that an overwhelming majority want to continue the war until Russians are defeated.
