Ok but the alternatives are not environmentally conscious either, finally the people who’s land it is should be the ones making choices about the conditions of that land

But which people? Government or the people who actually own the land?

And I guess, their favourite choice of "Don't use any weapons on my land and just clear off voluntairily" is not an option.

I don't get why people hate on the Ukraine for using weapons to defend themselves. Not like they chose to be attacked.
