Trying to get my mind around your tortured logic: so, if it had been a cake-walk, the Rooskies would have stopped quickly and only taken a small part of Ukraine, but since they're losing (to the point of conscripting old men and threatening nukes), i.e., since its very, very difficult, they're being forced to take the whole country. crazy Huh?
Russia offered to withdraw if Ukraine would end hostilities with the Donbas region and forsake NATO membership.

America told Ukraine to reject that offer.
