That was maybe true in the first months of the war. Western audiences have not been asked about the actions taken by heads of state and NATO for months. I dont think anyone believes that ukraine is going to retake its full territory, nor that they should. There will be growing skepticism during the winter

Im actually more confident that Ukraine will have a decisive victory then I was a month or so ago.
Russia has entered the desperation stage of the war by mobilising 300k barely trained conscripts and throwing them straight to the front lines (some are already POWs).
This has shown me that Russias losses are significant and that they cannot sustain there professional army, which is the first sign things are going to go very south very quickly.
