Yes, reading that article, it's clear that Guido Crosetto said he has never believed Ukraine could “win” the war militarily. He framed this not negatively, but realistically. Thank you for posting the link to the article.
If we want Ukraine to actually win this war militarily, we need to give them even more support. I think the biggest hope is to fold the Kremlin regime through kinetic sanctions on Putin's home front. And the Ukrainians are well on their way on that front.
