#Ukraine must Win – v2

The West seems more than happy,
to let Russia become degraded,
to destroy military assets,
to arm Ukraine not to fail,
to bleed in their struggle…
 
What would this war look like,
what arms would the West offer,
if their goal was Ukraine’s victory,
to defeat Russia now, today,
to end the awful slaughter…
 
Ukraine must win, more than not failing,
in the battles they are now facing,
ten years is more than enough,
exhausted, broken, but resolute,
under the boot of terror…
 
The United States, the West,
must support Ukraine in their mission,
not fearing escalation, but remembering,
Bucha, Mariupol, Irpin, other places
wherever Russia unleashed terror,
Yes, Ukraine must win…
