that a victory by Ukraine may not be achieved militarily, and that winter may provide an opportunity to begin negotiations with Russia.

Это чтоб никто не забывал, что я не один такой умный, и особенно для yakov_a_jerkov и воинственных комменаторов в его журнале, которые на меня не раз наезжали за подобные крамольные мысли.

This is the best argument I see so far. If we (the US) to give in to nuclear blackmail, the world order would change with every nuclear country potentially using similar methods and non-nuclear countries rushing to get nukes. Thus it is in our interest to make sure that Russian cannot be perceived as victorious.
