No one is cheering for the war, no matter how many times you say it.
People may cheer for Ukrainian independence, or for their victories, but no one wants the war to continue. The war can end today, if only Russia decides to give back all the land they took by force, including Crimea.
You're building a strawman.
Ukraine doesn't have any independence, no matter how many times you say it. Ukraine has a puppet regime that's throwing the people of Ukraine into a meat grinder so that US can fight a proxy war with Russia. Meanwhile the only straw man here is the whole RuSsIA CaN JuSt GivE AlL ThE LaND BacK as if that's a realistic scenario. Russia is winning this war, and the west is losing. There is no situation where Russia just packs up and goes home now. The only question is how many people are going to die before this war ends and whether there is an Ukraine left at the end of it.
Anybody who supports continuation of this war is absolutely cheering for continued death of people of Ukraine and the destruction of their country.
Oh, Russia is winning this war? Is that why it didn't end in their estimated 3 days? Is that why Prigozhin marched on the Kremlin? Is that why they're asking North Korea for weapons now?
So much winning.
