I mean everyday we have Zelensky saying the same thing as above, he needs more and more and more and he needed it yesterday.

Did we forget the comments from the former commander of the armed forces, "At this stage there will be no big beautiful breakthrough"
I think we in the west need to temper expectations on what success for Ukraine actually means. |
I think that the goals of the Western powers and the goals of Ukraine are not the same. Western Powers appear satisfied with the slow bleed of Russia and a relatively low cost. Much like Russias goal appears to be continue efforts until US election the wests goal appears to be hold the line until Russia is sick of war /Putin is removed.
I think why you are frusterated is that your expectation is a restoration of pre-2014 boarders. I don’t think that really is a stated goal of the western powers.
