Of course, from Ukraine's perspective, a one-on-one military confrontation with Russia is not a viable option. Last year, when separatist forces in the Donbas region appeared to be crumbling under the weight of Ukraine's counter-offensive, it seemed possible that Ukraine would be able to reassert its sovereignty over the area.
当然，从乌克兰的角度讲，与俄罗斯的一对一冲突绝非可行选择。去年，当顿巴斯分裂势力在乌克兰的反击下几近崩溃，乌克兰眼看着就要收复该地区的主权。但克里姆林宫迅速从俄军中抽调营级战术性部队部署至顿巴斯。相对较弱的乌军毫无还手之力。
