Sad thing is that Ukraine wouldn't have gotten nearly as much support if it looked like they had no chance of winning, or at least resisting.
I think the diplomatic logic is what's the point in supporting a loser - your support doesn't change anything and when they lose you're on the winners shit list. If you support a winner then you may have a beneficial relationship in the future.
