the EU and the US will surrender by end of December.
I don't think the global south cares whether Ukraine surrenders or not. As of now, the actions of the west in Ukraine has filled Russian coffers with money and provided an impetus for the global south to come together as a coalition.
The Russians have had its way with Ukraine since day one. It would have taken the Donbass region and pulled back if Western influences hadn't kept sending arms into Ukraine to keep it going.
Zelensky is still sending suicide missions into certain Russian controlled areas. But it long ago turned into a Russian occupation.
The west is depleting itself of arms and money, and Russia is making bank and aligning with those countries who correctly view American hegemony as a threat.
Because of how the whole situation has shaped up, Russia has no incentive to shut down its occupation in Ukraine.
