This conflict with Russia has already been decided. The aid only serves to drag out the inevitable outcome. 1) It doesn't matter how much funding or access to weapons they can get, without the human resource, this is a vain exercise. And this idea that it buys time, for what exactly? It's not like all of a sudden Ukraine is going to magically have soldiers. They don't grow on trees. Not even those sent for training would be enough to offset the disparity to Russia. 2) The fact that Ukraine has become totally dependent on the western partners means, Russia achieved one of its key objectives which was to neutralize Ukraine's military capacity. 3) The aspect of the seeming slow territorial gains is also a part of the strategy now that they have substantially weakened the military capabilities they can afford to drag the conflict into a battle of attrition that minimizes loses for Russia while weakening Ukraine. Also this brings the war to a pace Russia is able to maintain for many more years to come which would outlast the western funding. 4) Remember for Russia, for as long as the conflict stands, they have the advantage not only in weapons but soldiers on top of that, their economy is growing because of the war so while this prolonged fued empties European coffers it extends the shelf life of the Russian economy. This novel idea of a Ukrainian fight back is a pipe dream, if they failed to with greater resources when the opponent was still not fully organized, it's unrealistic to expect them make gains. Soon this will fade like the many global conflicts we have.
