Okay, I see. To use your analogy from the CMV:

... Anyone who locks someone in a room with rabid animal and refuses to let that person escape, is also responsible for what happens to the locked person.

So, Zelensky has locked the men to increase what? Their death or to kill the rabid? Is Ukraine locked? Or lockable, like a room? If the people are let out, will the rabid dog, as you say, be able to walk out? Maybe focus on killing the rabid animal, too. I suppose, if Ukraine could be sealed with the rabid animal in place, it would make an easier discussion. You do have a point, but the war was imposed upon the people. The rabid came, the rabid are loose, and the rabid must be eliminated, even with losses.
