Sure. There will always be those who benefit, and those profits from re-arming Ukraine and adding supplies to other European countries will still be waiting to be made after the war however long it goes. Still, it's worth recognizing and acknowledging the conflict of interest when there are political leaders whose incentives are aligned with a prolonged and more brutal war rather than peace.
It's a bit like the US currently making a big deal of war crimes and the International Criminal Court, even though the US does not even recognize the legitimacy of the ICC.
It seems important to question whether the expressed motivation for peace/justice is sincere on the part of all leaders, or just a convenient alignment with political and strategic interests, especially if the goal is to have peace and reduce suffering as soon as possible.
