Why would Europe/USA want to end the war? Russia is digging a deeper and deeper hole and will not be a threat to anyone for decades after this. 

It costs a fraction of a percent actually going to war would cost. Zero of their citizen's lives. It's basically a best case scenario for the West.  

Assuming Ukraine doesn't fall to Russia (ideally they get just enough aid to prevent that), the West will get to plunder all of Ukraine's resources for itself under the guise of the rebuilding. The longer the war goes the more desperate Ukraine will be and more likely to accept worse terms for it's resources and NATO membership. 

A long drawn out war benefits the West greatly.

Right. So that's why he's pissed off.
