We’ve also acknowledged that the Ukraine lacks the dudes, the guns and the money to drive the Russians out of their country on their own.

No one has denied that they lack the military power to physically remove the Russian military from their territory.

They have more than adequate military power to continue inflicting significant losses on the Russian military, which has historically been sufficient in many circumstances to induce an invading power to leave. The don't have it "on their own" - but they're not "on their own." They're receiving massive inflows of resources from NATO countries.

Whether you consider that latter strategy as also constituting "driving the Russian out of the country" affects whether your statement is true.
