To me it’s more astonishing that if figures are correct 97% of the population have remained.

Does this mean a prolonged and bigger war is likely? 42m Ukrainians fighting isn’t no small obstacle.
It seems to me that this has been the NATO plan all along. Tempt Russia into a war that it can’t really win in a huge territory against a relatively strong military backed by a stream of weapons from the West. The West has thrown Ukraine under the bus, knowing this war could bog both countries down for years. The war also giving the West their moral justification to impose sanctions, thus weakening Russia on two fronts.
