Looking at this cynically, the more arms sales/supplies can flow fluidly into Ukraine, the less interest American leaders tied to the arms industry have in any quick resolution to the conflict. No doubt Ukraine legitimately needs the weapons, but it's a situation ripe for putting personal gain from corporate arms dealing ahead of peace.
When the current secretary of defense stepped into his role straight off the board of Raytheon, he committed to recuse himself from anything having to do with Raytheon. I wonder how that's going with all the javelins and other arms being sent to Ukraine.
