More missiles more war more killing in Ukraine

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that continuing to arm Ukraine to fight off Russia is the right and moral thing to do. But when I see Zelensky doing his rounds to drum up pledges for more and more missiles and tanks and ammunition and artillery, the nagging feeling is that the mass of weapons provided by the West will still not actually force Putin to withdraw his invasion troops. In fact the more Ukraine is armed the more likely Putin will stay the course because to withdraw now would be to accept utter humiliation in the eyes of the world. For a leader like Putin who is relentless in his pursuit of a revived Soviet Union, giving up is not part of his make-up. So the war will go on and on and the Russians will suffer defeats and the casualty toll will rise and rise but there will be no orders from the Kremlin to pull back. Under Putin's doctrine, however many setbacks there may be, the goal has to stay the same. The troops will remain until the job is done. If not the original job as imagined by Putin but enough of a job for the Russian leader to claim Mission Accomplished (he should have a chat with George W Bush about that!). So Zelensky has done well on his latest round-European-capitals trip with promises of a whole bunch of warfghting stuff to keep the battle going. But the more Zelensky fights back, the more Putin will reply with destruction and death. That is guaranteed.
