> who wants Kiev burnt to the ground
Ukrainian cities and towns are being burnt to the ground _regardless_ of Ukrainian military presence. Putin's tactic is fearmongering. Your position relies on fearmongering too.
The whole position of "let's give out the capital to the Russian army and pray that they won't do no harm" mirrors Putin's propaganda and is plainly wrong. After giving up to the KGB, the ones who gave up are sent to gulags without any correlation to the perceived sins of the surrenderers. There is no mercy at the will of the KGB.
The absence of mercy is not a simple cruelty tactic, but a means to archive complete obedience (as in totalitarianism). No matter what you do, you'll get fucked, that's what they call learned helplessness, the sense of zero control over your life. And that's what leads to complete obedience, the ultimate goal of the KGB in the past, present and future.
So your fearmongering (just like Putin's propaganda) is basically helping Ukrainians achieve the first step on the way to complete helplessness - to give up their hope.
It does not even help to get one last reprievement - there is no reprievement until there are no NATO troops. It doesn't help to get any mercy too, because Putin does not believe neither in mercy nor trust.
