The past month has been particularly tough for Ukraine, with Russia enhancing its military strength through recruits from North Korea and Yemen amid fierce attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
Despite constant escalation from Russia, the West's current policy—characterized as 'incrementalism'—means a cautious approach in providing Ukraine with military support to avoid a larger conflict.
The reluctance to fully empower Ukraine is largely due to the high cost of warfare, which democratic governments fear to present to their electorates, especially during rising taxes.
The current political climate in the West, highlighted by the recent US elections, suggests that leaders may shy away from significant military intervention due to public sentiment and economic pressures.
