Yeah it does seem like some people have interpreted any call for de-escalation to mean "Ukraine should stop resisting".
In Corbyn's piece there I didn't detect any desire for Ukraine to stand down. Instead the concern seems to be over direct action from NATO escalating the situation.
In fact he makes a point that total occupation of Ukraine would be the worst outcome. But I suppose that's where the argument over how best to prevent that starts.
(Eta that what I'm getting at is that it's hard to pick the nuance out of what's being said at the moment. I don't really have a position on whether NATO should be involved directly or not)
No point in de-escalating now that the cat is out of the bag. Putler wanted war and has shown his army is useless. It will not be possible to live peacefully with a war criminal in power.
