      That feels like a big contingency that they failed to adequately plan for

      Plus wouldn’t the armed forces still fight?

        They would have fought, but they would have been demoralized.

        They also would have likely been replaced by a Russian sympathizer or asset and the US/West would be very wary to send all sorts of expensive weapon systems to Ukraine.
