You can't replace the lives lost, but Russia being crippled will also save lives. So where to you put that line.

You figure the two sides look something like this

Ukrainian document: "Immediate cease fire and leave our country"

Russian document: Declare the two states independent, surrender your government, and allow us to keep a military presence in your country"

When Russia throws out the "this is our final offer for today" line, the Ukrainians have to be like "GTFO"
