Ukraine must Win

The West 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 the 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,
In the battle they are facing,
Ten years is more than enough,
Exhausted, broken, resolute,
Under the boot of terror…
