Why would they be the aggressor? It's their land. Giving Putin anything is just delaying the conflict for a few years before they start again. Ukraine needs to join NATO once the Russians have been kicked out and ideally Russia will break up once Putin is deposed.
Who has? Genuine question. I've not seen anyone claim this seriously. There was a joke made by the Defence minister the other day, they've always said they want to kick the Russians out and end this war.

He climbed out of a tank and said something along those lines and laughed. It's not exactly Government policy.
He's not in charge of the army and has no power to do it. Of course Ukrainians are pissed off, I think you would be too if your family and friends were bombed relentlessly for over a year.
In my opinion, our support should only go as far as to repel the latest invasion. It's a slippery slope to go further.
Of course some people want vengeance. It's completely natural. There is no appetite in the Ukranian leadership or the West to have a war on Russian soil. Hopefully the Russian people will grow a pair and kick Putin out themselves.
Let’s hope you’re right.....however many are now starting to feel that the constant arming of Ukraine with ever more advanced and long range weapons is adding fuel to the fire.....and at some point the fire might burn out of control.
We're barely sending anything. A few tanks and other bits. Ukraine are dependant on us for ammo and spare parts, there's no chance they'd attempt to invade Russia.
I would disagree that we, the West, are “barely sending anything”.....and I guess your final point will only be known in the future.
Do you know what we sent Russia during WW2? Ukraine have had a handful of western tanks promised to them and random bits of old kit we had lying around waiting to be decommissioned.
