I think it goes both ways. The more ignorant members of the Allies' populations and politicians are equally disappointed with Ukraine. The clueless mob are wondering: US$350 billion in aid to Ukraine since Jan 2022 and all we get is a stalemate? I expect by the end of summer 2024 total aid to Ukraine will exceed $500 billion, likely closer to $600 billion once the F-16s, additional long range missiles and Abrams start arriving. Once total aid reaches 3/4 of a trillion US$ Zelenskyy is going be facing a solid wall of public and political resistance…. Unless he's near victory.
Ukraine has had trouble with it's mobilization issued in 2022.I think it goes both ways. The more ignorant members of the Allies' populations and politicians are equally disappointed with Ukraine.

As of yet, Ukraine is yet to fully mobilize its population. During WW2, over one million Canadian men and women served in unform, out of an adult population of under eight million.
the problem with that is that it will cause Ukraine's backers to also stop weapon shipments. It has already been made very clear that direct, overt attacks on Russia proper are off limits. They are therefore forced to fight with their hands tied.He will never see victory, nor he will be able to take back any lost grounds from invaders, unless he changes his mind and goes for way more aggressive, distractive and violent approaches, like sending missiles into Russian heartland, moskow, or any city near the old and true borders, causing panic, suffer and damage to russian people.
I fear you may be right, especially re the ignorant, though let's also accept that there are some amongst them who are hoping Russia does win.I think it goes both ways.

Exactly!!Ukraine has done the impossible, repelling a superpower with limited resources at the onset.
It seems to me, that everyone is expecting a Hollywood style charge of the light brigade instead of seeing the reality of the situation.
US delivers for the first time to Ukraine M1150 Assault Breacher Vehic
Pictures surfaced on X (Twitter) on November 3, 2023, showing the US-made M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) on an M1 Abrams tank chassis in Ukraine, marwww.armyrecognition.com
Yes!!! I hope there is more than one.
Indeed, by 2026 Ukraine will have the military it needed in 2022.I fear you may be right, especially re the ignorant, though let's also accept that there are some amongst them who are hoping Russia does win.
For those worried/frustrated that it is taking too long, I would simply say that you could end this war in months if Ukraine wasn't trickle fed what they need. Instead of 31 Abrams give them 310 and so on...
In first place, they shouldn't have waited for this so long... Both of them.the problem with that is that it will cause Ukraine's backers to also stop weapon shipments. It has already been made very clear that direct, overt attacks on Russia proper are off limits. They are therefore forced to fight with their hands tied.
The America is not fighting, that's Ukrainę which is fighting, and no one would like to loose several Hundred trillions USD in the name of humanity and other bullshits.the problem with that is that it will cause Ukraine's backers to also stop weapon shipments. It has already been made very clear that direct, overt attacks on Russia proper are off limits. They are therefore forced to fight with their hands tied.
