As few as possible to keep Ukraine a sovereign country.
Personally for you: how many Ukrainians are OK to be killed by Russian weapons as long as Switzerland isn’t inconvenienced?
No, because Ukrainians were being killed before Russia showed up. Only the weapons changed, now they're US made. Keep thinking.
As few as possible is how many? 10.000? 100.000?
Personally for me? Sadly, all of them. Switzerland's neutrality dictates that we don't get involved no matter what. We will protect the sh*t out of our own boarders though in case some lunatics would try to invade. Which also means we also are accountable to 0 Ukrainian (or Russian) deaths, unlike the US, which are supporting the 2nd largest murderer of Ukrainians at the moment.
If some nation happened to be stupid enough to invade your country, and your nation expended all your munitions defending yourself, who or where would you go to for replenishment? Think about it for a moment or two before replying.
First step is to fix own violation of the UN chapter
1. withdraw from Syria. Put in jail responsible. Pay reparations
2. Put in jail those responsible for Iraq, pay reparations.
3. Put in jail those responsible for Afganistan. pay reparations
4. Repeat the same for tens for other coutntries you damaged
5. Think about Russia
1. Great idea. Assad's a genocidal tyrant who was incapable of dealing with ISIS. He should be in jail or hanging from a lamp post. Iran and Russia should withdraw. You might want to look up who has caused 95% of deaths in Syria.
2. Saddam Hussein got worse than a jail sentence. Things like that happen when you invade a neighboring country, get the cr*p kicked out of you, and then get put in a box by UN sanctions. If you say the wrong things, something unfortunate might happen. Saddam said the wrong things and found out.
3. Osama bin Laden got a lot worse than a jail sentence. Lots of Taliban, too, who should have known better than to tolerate Al Qaeda on their soil.
4. Heck yeah, let's repeat the process with a bunch of tinpot dictators. Gadaffi got what he had coming. He did a lot worse to a lot of other people.
5. Russia? Yes, definitely. What a cr*phole. Time for Putin to go. Preferably in some way that serves as a cautionary tale for generations.

Don’t worry, most of the Ukrainians being killed are still being killed by Russian weapons. It’s just that a lot of Russian soldiers are being killed now that Ukraine has NATO weapons available.
However many Ukraine is willing to lose.
Perfect, so you’re not involved, which probably means you shouldn’t be involved in this thread. And the US is responsible for many thousands of Russian deaths, which means that Ukraine gets to maintain its existence. So, while Switzerland is responsible for 0 deaths, the US is responsible for the continued existence of an entire country, the prevention of genocide, and many hours of entertainment. I think that gives the advantage to the US. You can go back to not caring (while claiming Americans lack empathy).
"The Swiss tradition of strict neutrality means that we are only allowed to profit from war crimes and genocide, not prevent them. Now please pay close attention while I lecture you on human rights and international law!"

You're being dishonest. The US didn't drop bombs on them because they were "brown and black" they dropped bombs on them because those people are assh*les.
Apparently there was a Russian sabotage campaign during the period 2014-2018 that successfully destroyed a significant portion of the Ukrainian artillery ammunition depots.
Sabotage so badly depleted Ukraine’s ammo supplies that, as a hundred Russian battalions rolled into northern, eastern and southern Ukraine starting in late February, there was a real risk of Ukraine’s big guns falling silent...
Looks like recently mobilized Russians have decided they don't want to die in Ukraine, but please Carmine, tell us again how the mobilization is going to lead Russia to victory.
Video has emerged of mobilised Russians allegedly mutinying and forcing their way off a military base in protest at poor conditions. With morale plummeting among Putin’s troops, the Russian army faces a difficult winterpic.twitter.com/wkEpauAnWr
Also, seeing multiple reports of Russian airbases several hundred km from the border suffering explosions this morning.
The Russian airbase “Engels-2” has been hit. The base is located 400 km Southeast from Moscow. It hosts strategic bombers of Tu-95 and was the launch pad for numerous attacks against Ukraine. #Ukraine#Russiapic.twitter.com/cps5f2Gz9F

Russia is finally sending some properly trained mobilized units to Ukraine to provide relief to forces that have been getting badly beaten since the Ukraine counteroffensive this fall. Russia is beginning to make small advances on Bakhmut and are trying to encircle the town, but are suffering huge losses with up to 100 casualties a day. Ukraine is also going to see more freshly trained units with expanded training assistance from the Czech Republic. The big question is who will be best prepared to fight in freezing temps. Ukraine has received hundreds of thousands of donations of cold weather kits and could be well prepared for winter if the gear gets to the front lines. Russian forces have been reported to have minimal gear and soldiers are having to buy their own equipment.
Ukraine has probably developed drones that have the capability of attacking deep in Russian territory. Ukraine does have a fairly advanced aviation sector and has been working on drones since the war started. The West has been very careful to keep Ukraine from having the capacity to strike deep inside Russian territory and the US even altered the HIMARs system to prevent Ukraine from being able to launch deep into Russian territory. If Ukraine develops the ability to hit Russian aircraft at bases inside Russia, that is a big game changer.
The G7 price cap on Russian oil goes into effect today. This will be a huge test of Russia's economic resilience. Oil prices have been falling and OPEC is cutting production again. Russia has reaped a big windfall on rising natural gas prices, but in about four months, demand for natural gas will fall as temps rise with the spring. If there is a significant global recession, Russia will have a very hard time funding its war and keeping its economy moving. If the world economy gets through the winter without a big slowdown, Russia will probably be able to weather the economic storm as the West has not shown any inclination for more intense sanctions.
Still clinging to the absurd fantasy that Ukraine can win a war with Russia,
How much territory has Russia gained in the last 9 months? Here's a hint, it's a negative amount. How many Russian soldiers have died losing that territory? Here's another hint, it's a lot.
Not sure why you're so enamored with Russia, or scared of their military. They've been almost entirely inept since day one of this invasion. A former superpower reduced to third-world insignificance. Russia makes North Korea seem like a utopia.
