Ukraine is fighting an existential war because now that Russia has committed itself to military action they're not going to settle for the status quo. Best case scenario for Ukraine at this point is that there's going to be a rump state left in western Ukraine where nationalist sentiment is the strongest. Meanwhile, Vietnam is actually a good analogy, but with US deciding to drop support for western Ukraine once they realize the war is not winnable.
