You word it like Ukraine is somehow responsible for the violence because she won’t back down.

This entire clusterfuck is Putin’s fault. Not wanting to give up territory is completely understandable.

    I think you're putting words in my mouth, never did I imply or think that Ukraine is responsible for what is happening, or that Ukraine is not right in wanting all their territory back. However, it is factual that if Ukraine wants to secure its territory, which is entirely justified, it will not be by means that are describable as "peace" or "peaceful", because russia is not backing down like complete idiots(a common theme).

    Is what I am saying false?

    I agree with the other guy, you're wording it in a way that is attributing all the agency to Ukraine and none to Russia. It probably would lead to much more needless death in the long run, because it sets the stage for additional aggression. Which of course would be staged from a much more consolidated position that would be much harder to roll back than if Ukraine just rolls it back now.
