I'm going to play devil's advocate here: several years is bad for both Ukraine and Russia. But, keeping the war in Ukraine (with only Russia as the other war party) is in Europe's and USA's best interest. And as long as the west is only supplying arms, Russia has a very weak case to get more direct help from / involvement of friendly nations (namely, china and India).
Not my preference at all, to be very clear. I would love it if the Ukrainians chased out the Russians tomorrow and reclaimed their full territory. I also do not allege that western nations don't want to help Ukraine - but they have to think of themselves first.
Yes I know the war is overall bad for Europe. No denying that.
