Yes, we’ve said that we will support Ukraine for as long as it takes. We need to recognize that Ukraine can win and that a Ukrainian victory is in the interests of the geopolitical West. Ukraine has deprived Russia of control of the sky, and Ukraine has held Russia to an effective stalemate on the ground: in fact, Ukraine today controls more of its own territory than it did immediately after Russia’s full-scale incursion. Ukraine has held out for so long because of its own military innovation and arms from the West. And Western military support for Ukraine is limited more by money than by political will.
