As Long as it Takes: Ukraine War Goal Is Now to Win Through Exhaustion

Leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization last month rallied around a new slogan for Ukraine: "As long as it takes." When a reporter asked President Biden to explain what that means, he said: "As long as it takes so Russia cannot, in fact, defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine." Note what he didn't say: as long as it takes for Ukraine to win.
The West's strategy is to give the Ukrainians enough military aid to defend against Russian advances, and to counter Vladimir Putin's belief that he can win on the ground or wait out the Alliance until it runs out of gas, wheat or patience—in other words, to wait Mr. Putin out.
