As much as I don't want to see Ukraine give up an inch, I would hate it even more if the Western support drops off and lose their advantage in negotiations. I would not want to be Zelenskyy, that is for sure.

Honestly and its my opinion, If this war is still going on in the next election no matter who wins, its going to be with a mandate of detangling from this war and pushing for a peace plan as the sheer number of the dollars spent, and the bloody stalemate that that war will be if its still going are going to create a certain amount of anti ukraine war sentiment.
Even though America is not actively fighting in this war, there's still a cost of sending weapons over and encouraging Ukraine to keep sending kids into the meat grinder.
I think I read last week that the Ukrainian military had lost about $130,000 soldiers. As of Feb 8th the Military had 500,000 men under uniform. If they keep taking large casualties over the next year and a half when do they lose the capability to fight.
Russia's military has been absolutely gutted losing something like 260,000 men, but they have an active military that's close to something like 1.5 million in uniform. Russia has lost a lot of their really strong category A units in terms of their best equipment and best trained men.
But Russia unless they make a deal with China has to be running to low levels of ammunition, especially advanced land and aircraft based missiles.
