This was always the plan. Ukraine will get just enough to drag on the suffering and weaken Russia. The US did the same in WW2 and waited so long it almost cost everyone the war.
Ukraine is not stalled, they are moving exactly as fast as the worlds military industry wants it to move, hoping Russia will collapse forever and the US can make a puppet out of Ukraine.
Well, Ukraine is becoming noticeably more united, self-aware and competent. And this is so much better than the previous Russian genocide, when many millions of Ukrainians starved to death and almost no one abroad even knew about it.
The puppetry is mostly a Russian template: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_state So that’s what the Russians often say in their projections.
The U.S. relationship with its various allies is much more nuanced, and it takes some knowledge of modern international relations to understand it. Suffice it to say that, based on its model of relations, the US is not interested in simplistic political patronage. It’s interested in markets and free world trade.
