And this is stuff written prior to the election. Ukraine has lost importance footholds on multiple fronts the last two years.

They haven't lost significant amounts and they have taken Russian land and held it for over 6 months. If we put a no fly zone to protect their skies at little risk to our pilots, they would re-take their land in time.
FACT: at russia's current rates it would take them 83 years to capture Ukraine and cost them 30,000,000 killed and wounded.
Second fact (not really a proven fact but it is as true as your assertion about russia's advances) if the UK and USA had been true to our word in the Budapest memorandum and put troops on the ground and in the air this war would have been over as quick as the first Gulf war when Iraq invaded Kuwait.
