I think Russia should just annex it and be done with it, heard that it would take Russia 3 days to defeat Ukraine, 14 days to be in Berlin etc
I don’t think that’s an option. Russians never wanted it.
Realistically Western Ukranians have two options:
1) create a state of their own like they always wanted. It is unclear whether they will retain access to the sea (as Odessa might not go along with Banderites) and what will be the economic driver of this new country as there is not much industry there. The only realistic exports they have is cheap labour, internet cope and vyshivankas.
2) be annexed by Poland again like it was for majority its existence. It appears Stalin made a mistake when he carved it out from Poland as a post-World War 2 concession. Perhaps he should have left it within Poland all along.
“3 days to defeat Ukraine” was a quote by General Milley who was just pardoned by Biden. I’ve no clue why it became attributed to Russians.
