True, but Ukrainian forces are also being worn down. If we arm and train the Ukrainians to the max, with Russia only having a 3:1 advantage in population, they may hold.

If the Ukrainians defeat the current offensive, the Russians may decide to escalate even more. The faster we bring the war to a conclusion, the better, although I would think the minimum would be Ukraine gets its Feb 24th borders and real security alliances, even if not NATO.

Russia has more resources to burn than Ukraine and the West do.

That is the sad fact.

The goal is the let Russia exhaust herself and then see what happens.
