Just give Ukraine what it needs to defeat Russia in Ukraine to prevent a real world war.

That's pretty clearly not the purpose of the war. It will continue until every Ukrainian man - even the elderly, young, disabled and ill - has been brutally maimed and left to die slowly in a field. Every single one. They will continue to be snatched from the streets and dragged from cars and their homes until every single one is gone.

This will escalate to those that side with Ukraine and those that side with Russia, sadly we're too naive to learn from past mistakes.

"Just give Ukraine what it needs to defeat Russia in Ukraine to prevent a real world war."

Ukraine needs ammo and soldiers. West is unable to produce enough of first, and is unwilling to give the second, which is reasonable, considering demography.

Often it's just incompetence, not malice
