Russia is just too comfortable killing Ukrainians and lying about peace negotiations. Maybe a little more pain inside Russia would change things. Putin will not go nuke. He can't afford it and he would end up fighting the entire world except for the US.
The west is just as complicit in what is going on in Ukraine as it is with what is going on in Gaza.

When it did apply, it only covered the use of certain US-supplied weapons anyway. Ukraine has developed its own longer-range armaments (it already had some at the time of the earlier strictures, though not as stealthy or devastating as those supplied later), which seem to be doing a handy job. It's not clear yet what took out the Grau arms depot near Moscow and its 200,000 tons or so of armaments the other day, but it may have been a Ukrainian strike.
During Russia's attacks on Ukrainian civilian populations last night, this is a snapshot of the Ukrainian airborne response:
The more pressing need at the moment is more, and more effective, air defences to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, and so far Trump's sneered at the idea of selling Ukraine any Patriots.

They could have wiped Putins army, his mercenaries, North Koreans n Chinese fighters out a long time ago if they had the weapons they needed and asked for. Putin doesnt respect boundaries so Ukraine should do what it needs to do 🇺🇦
