From a New York Times story by Andrew E. Kramer headlined “Ukraine Tries to Make the Case That It Can Win, Citing Recent Strikes”:

Western support appeared to be softening, amid skepticism that Ukraine could win a war of attrition, or that an influx of sophisticated weapons would turn the tide.
Through it all, the Ukrainians’ message to the world did not change: We can win. Our strategy is working, if slowly. Just keep the weapons coming.
