As you point out the West has to have appetite to fund his war and future defence. Russia is also not a basket case economy wise and will also have plenty of money to spend on equipment.
It will depend on which side can get re-equipped most effectively and efficiently to continue the fight. I don’t know who that is.
If Ukraine can mount a major offensive and sustain it, then I’ll think differently but I don’t see either moving very much.

I think you’ve answered your own question to an extent.
If your assumptions hold true the war ends when it no longer meets US strategic objectives and they pull the funding for it. A negotiated settlement would quickly be found.
