I am confused why you ask this of the proponents. The proponents think that Russia is performing horrendous war crimes and must be stopped from encroaching further. We see massacres such as Bucha where Russia had a couple of days and indiscriminately butchered innocent civilians and realized that there is no other way but to keep fighting to stop Russia from taking more territory and lives.

My question is more looking for what changes to the strategy are proposed? Arming Ukraine hasn't stopped Russia from these crimes so far. There's certainly some turning point point where US, or NATO, involvement will be seen as a declaration is war against Russia and it's allies, right?
Another commenter suggest sent a video about this that I'll watch later, I suspect the answer lies there, but thought I'd share with you so you can have some understanding of what someone who sees both side's surface level plans as confusing and problematic .
Arming Ukraine has absolutely stopped Russia from advancing and stopped them from committing more crimes.
Nothing will stop Putin but force.
Russia has no allies, just cronies such as Lukashenko and Russia is de-facto at war with the west. The front line just goes through Ukraine.

Isn't Russia still advancing though? I've only been watching these video updates: https://youtu.be/G8jreLqRSXI?si=wopg1BQA1rc-jhfg
At a pace that Ukraine can handle and allows to evacuate citizens.
Of course, with the US under Trump withdrawing their support we will see what will happen, but currently it is a stalemate.
