https://news.gallup.com/poll/512258/ukrainians-stand-behind-war-effort-despite-fatigue.aspx

Key points:

60% want to keep fighting until victory (which >90% define as everything including Crimea liberated) -- down from 70% about a year ago
Zelensky's approval rating is >80%

So not only Ukraine but ukrainians seem to agree with White House's assessment.

That's back from October last year, a lot has happened since then such as massive failure of the Ukrainian offensive. However, what Ukrainians want is entirely beside the point. US makes the decisions.
