    Not ‘giving up’… suspending. It’s called Martial Law in which many basic freedoms enjoyed in a democracy are restricted or curtailed for the duration. It is one of the many unfortunate necessities in war lest you permit your opponent to foster dissent in the populace via protests, or sabotage vital infrastructure by not having strict curfews etc…

    Once Ukraine has won, THEN, it is time to focus on civil liberties etc…

        Well, yes. In that unlikely scenario it would then be under the autocratic rule of Russia…
