Russia's supply of weapons and recruits is several times what Ukraine has. The US and Europe could not match it, even if they wanted to.

Any figures to back this up?

Everyone accepts that currently Ukraine is struggling with manpower and US officials this week have said that Russia now has a larger army than it did at the start of the conflict and they vastly underestimated Russias ability to reconstitute forces, its a bigger country with a bigger pool to pull from

Equipment is a different matter and if the West gets supplies flowing again then Ukraine will be better armed and should be able as a minium to force a stalemate. Not providing AD is allowing Russia to currently destroy the energy infrastructure and domestic manufacturing base

With respect that’s not what NickH said, he said that the US and Europe could not equal Russia even if they wanted to. This is patently untrue as my link shows.
