There’s no way this war is worth it anymore. Not even the new main objective of supplying Crimea makes sense anymore.
>need Crimea to control a warm water port for the Russian Navy
>historically significant port for Russian control of the Black Sea
>Sevastopol port is entirely in missile range
>most of the Black Sea fleet that isn’t underwater has been moved to another port
>crimea currently represents only a resource grab for offshore oil that hasn’t been developed yet
>sanctions will make this impossible
>the current land held by Russia serves as a land bridge to supply a peninsula that is fully reliant on irrigation from Ukraine
>it can’t be used commercially because the Black Sea is closed off
>crimea basically holds sentimental value until Ukraine is taken and the entire rest of the world just lets Russia have it.
Or I’m just kinda retarded and there’s a really good reason to hold onto land your new arch enemy can lob missiles at and drone swarms whenever it wants.
