Volodymyr Ariel, a close ally of Poroshenko, says that far from becoming a new Winston Churchill, Zelenskyy had failed to unite the nation. “Simply put, Zelenskyy has not become a true leader,” he says. “He is unable to adapt to the challenges Ukraine faces today. He remains selfish, narcissistic and arrogant in his dealing both within Ukraine and with international partners.”
Then Russia will probably occupy the entire country. Ukraine won’t have anything to fight with, as NATO can’t supply them with the quantity needed, and even then, they’d lose to a much larger, motivated army. They simply can’t compete militarily.
Seems unlikely given that western Ukraine has a lot of anti-Russian sentiment. The most plausible scenario is that Russia will absorb parts of Ukraine that are pro Russian or neutral, and the rest will be gobbled up by Poland and Romania.
I bet a small portion of the country will remain Ukrainian, but only because no one else is going to willingly add Chernobyl to their country.
