I am thinking of donating to help Ukraine. Is it too late for them to win the war? Either way, do you have any suggestions?

It's a hard time, but it's not too late. I can vouch for https://www.libertyukraine.org/ actually helping.

It is probably too late for Ukraine to recover the Crimea or much of Donbas. Russian forces are on lines that are going to be very hard to displace, even if NATO had the appetite for the support that would make that displacement possible - which it doesn't.

That said, it is not too late for Ukraine to get some significant concessions, including the handover of meaningful non-Russian-ethnic-majority territory now held by Russians, reinstatement of Ukranians' property rights in what will be ceded to Russia, and good trade and travel terms.

How do you conclude that? There are so many factions in Trumplandia sympathetic to Russia, I have a lot of fears Trump & Co. will not do the right thing, barring, say, greed for Ukraine's rare earths overtaking them.
