at present while Zelensky does the math over the long term and what will be the fate of Ukrainians if Russia wins. Even if Ukrainian civilians survive they will be forced to work for Russian oligarchs for a pittance while the oligarchs become bigger billionaires. Colonialism where dissidents can be killed easily. Russia has demonstrated it is not afraid of committing war crimes. Oligarchical colonialism is what happened after 2014 in some Russian controlled areas of Ukraine.
